This is the definition of surface tension as the term is used in science, along with a look at its causes.

Physicists operate in a strange world where ten objects make for an intractable problem, but an infinite number are easy to deal with.

Check out this novel three-way method to model the contact interaction between solid and fluid, driven by strong surface tension.

Surface tension is basically a property of liquid. The liquid surface behave like a stretched elastic membrane which has a natural tendency to contract and tends to have a minimum possible area. This property of liquid is called surface tension. Inter molecular force A. Cohesive force :- The force acting between the molecules of one type of molecules or molecules of different substance is called adhesive force. B. Adhesive force :- The force acting between different type of molecules or…

UPDATE, Tuesday 10th March - I've just found out that I won the "Your Mission" competition in April 2009's edition of Digital Camera magazine with this image. Really chuffed - the people next to me at the magazine rack at Tesco thought I was having a seizure! :-) 2nd go at "The Paperclip" - This is what happens when you listen to your critics. :-) (Originally inspired from a photo by Jeffffd) I decided to take it further and use a gel this time and lighting on 2 planes so that I could get a…

I can totally see Karsyn creating a picture like this! Simple, yet beautiful and profound. I absolutely LOVE this!

For photographer Philotheus Nisch, his chosen medium goes beyond the usual love of capturing a moment in time – he believes photography is at the root of everything. “So many things exist to end up as a photograph,” he remarks, “even a lot of our actions… It happens a lot, that I see things or create certain set-ups that I would like to be eternal. For me, taking a picture of it is the most immediate approach to that issue.”

You don't need a physics degree to know about Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: "Any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them." And even if all that sounds like gibberish we all understand the general principle of how gravity works - especially when we see something that seems to go against this law.

Just science stuff 🤩

Photos of water droplets aren't hard to come by. Flickr is littered with them and although some might look impressive, they all seem to have very similar composition and formation. However, the...
