The topic of water and the way it can move producing water droplets that leap -- propelled by surface tension -- and frost that jumps -- by way of electrostatics -- is a central focus of a group of ...

Bubbles are always round due to nature's tendency to minimize surface area, with a sphere offering the least for a given volume. Surface tension acts as an elastic skin, pulling evenly on all sides, ...

Bubbles are an optimal way to carry heat, and Jonathan Boreyko's team has engineered a surface that makes them jump to carry even more “During my PhD research at Duke University, I discovered jumping ...
