Investigators at the University of Cambridge have determined in a new investigation that a liquid filament will not break apart into smaller droplets when condensed along its length. Rather, it will coalesce into a single, larger droplet. Experts have been trying to figure out which scenario was valid for years.

A team of investigators at the University of Pennsylvania recently determined how the “coffee ring effect” is produced on surfaces. The new discovery could enable the creation of new coating materials, as well as advanced inks and various types of novel paints.The coffee ring effect is a termed coined to ... |

While conducting a study to determine the behavior of tiny particles called colloids inside liquids, researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) and the University of Vienna (UV) found that the particles were spontaneously producing organized structures when subjected to stress.According to the res... |

Water is the most important life-sustaining chemical on the planet, and yet it also remains one of the greatest mysteries. While we do have a fairly good understanding of how it works, some of its behaviors cannot readily be explained. Researchers took a closer look at these in a new study.The study team – from... |

About four years ago, a scientific experiment meant to assess how different liquids mix with each other flew around the planet on an unmanned spacecraft. Now the results are finally in, and European researchers are able to improve their knowledge on this delicate subject.Much of the data on how fluids mix – tha... |

Just when scientists thought there is little to discover when it comes to studying water, experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) come up with a new discovery, which concerns the existence of basic physical property that is shared by liquids when they change temperature.The finding, that the intern... |

Though it may seem a bit of an exaggeration at first, science has yet to make sense of what the most basic water molecules can do. Granted, they know their physical and chemical properties, but when it comes to how water behaves in large amounts, our understanding is still fairly limited. Some physics and chemistry s... |

In a groundbreaking new study, scientists at the University of Bristol, in the UK, managed to create the first ever, highly-concentrated liquid that does not contain water at all. The accomplishment was made possible only through the use of one of the blood's most important proteins, called myoglobin. This chemi... |

Though relatively unknown, wettability is one of the most important properties that researchers need to assess in a variety of chemical and physical processes. This is the property that solid materials have, which dictate how water and other liquids will behave on them. Some may retain water, while others may force t... |

In a groundbreaking new achievement, a team of scientists has been able to demonstrate a way of controlling the direction of a liquid's flow on a surface. This is the first time this is achieved, and the finding carries with it considerable implications for a wide array of research fields, including microfluidic... |

Researchers have been surprised to learn in a new study of another trait of intelligence chimpanzees display, one that was never encountered before. They have noticed that the primates are perfectly capable of recognizing precisely how big a pint of liquid is. The animals can also tell the volume of any other measure... |

Scientists at the Rice University believe they may have finally found the answer to a decades-old riddle. Geologists found that Earth's mantle still features a host of light chemical elements inside, which shouldn't have endured there. In the early days of the planet, as volcanoes spewed out gases and produ... |

Scientists have been recently able to create a new type of material, that is capable of adhering to a large number of other surfaces, using nothing but a mechanism that was derived from the one the leaf beetle employs to stay attached to the leaf. In addition to being able to mimic nature in this regard, the investig... |

For a long time, more than anyone cares to remember, passengers in United States airports have been forbidden to carry toothpaste, shampoo and other types of liquids aboard jets. Authorities feared that terrorists and other ill-intended people might try to sneak various compounds on air liners, and then mix these com... |

The behavior of liquid water at temperatures approaching minus 100º Celsius has been puzzling physicists for a long time. Many experts have tried to produce explanations for this phenomenon, but most of them failed to do so. To date, about four possible scenarios related to this phase behavior have been identifi... |

According to a new series of satellite observations, it may be that the Red Planet hosted liquid lakes on its surface more than three billion years ago, astronomers say. In a paper published in the latest issue of the journal Geology, the experts emphasize that the research demonstrates the time frame – which w... |

Scientists at the Forschungszentrum Juelich, in Germany, announce the development of a new method of scanning liquids in airports that reduces the waiting time and is far more effective at detecting substances that may be combined to form bombs than any other existing method. If put to commercial use, the new scanner... |

Ever since American thinker Benjamin Franklin and French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb laid the groundwork for this theory, it has become axiomatic to say that opposite charges attract. This has been proven countless times in a wide array of experiments, and numerous industrial processes are currently based o... |

Scientists at the Emory University have for the first time ever imaged the interactions that take place in the fuzzy layer between crystal and liquid molecules, and were able to determine that the contact area is indeed very, very small. Details of their achievements appear in this week's issue of the respected ... |

Sand is, perhaps, the single best material in the world. Millions of people live in it, and billions others interact with it as children or during holiday. And it's in this seemingly common, uninteresting, and sometimes deadly material that physicists believe they may have discovered hints about the fifth state ... |

Liquid metal batteries are the way of the future, MIT researchers seem to think. They've created a prototype that can easily store several times more energy than conventional, solid ones, an innovation that could have numerous applications in storing the electricity created by renewable energy sources, such as s... |

Granular materials are widely found both in nature and in industrial applications and although we use them every day, theoretical physicists and manufacturers are still puzzled by their weird behavior. Although they are solid, they refuse to comply to the laws of physics that govern the movement of solids and they d... |
