Water is all around us, yet its surface layer—home to chemical reactions that shape life on Earth—is surprisingly hard to ...

Bonding over the science of Surface Tension! Why do some things float in water while others sink? The Crew’s depth of knowledge goes WAY below the surface, as they learn all about the molecular bonds ...

Researchers explain a new mechanism for ice formation. Ice can form near the free surface of a water droplet via small precursors with a structure resembling ice 0. These are readily formed by ...

Discover how microwave ovens can superheat water, leading to unexpected boiling when disturbed. Stay safe while heating.

Water striders harness it by secreting water-insoluble compounds called lipids, creating a surface tension imbalance that pulls them forward. Led by Asst. Prof. Hassan Masoud, a team at Michigan ...
