Liquids behave in strange ways without gravity, creating challenges for astronauts and engineers. A new study from the University of Mississippi shows how surface tension, rather than gravity, can ...

Purdue University researchers are collaborating with NASA to study cryogenic liquids in zero gravity, leading to the possibility of propellant depots and refueling spacecraft in orbit. As we plan for ...

A viscous bubble film with sufficiently large viscosity will collapse under the force of surface tension. Credit: Oliver McRae What causes a bubble to burst? For bubbles on the surface of viscous ...

Scientists have long believed that viscous bubbles collapse due to gravity. Now, a new study from researchers at Boston University, Princeton University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

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 ...
