The behavior of water at hydrophobic interfaces has perplexed scientists for over a century, spanning chemistry, biology, ...

Now, new research published March 14 in the journal Science Advances suggests that fizzes of barely visible “microlightning,” generated between charged droplets of water mist, could have been ...

Instead, it may have started with tiny “micro lightning” sparks generated between water droplets from crashing waves or waterfalls. This fascinating new perspective comes from Stanford University ...

Droplets bouncing off surfaces are an everyday phenomenon, like raindrops bouncing off lotus leaves or water drops sizzling in a hot pan, levitating and sliding around—aka the Leidenfrost effect.

Recently, the NASA astronaut posted an exciting video that shows water drops dancing around a needle. Astronaut Don Pettit shared this pic that shows overlapping frames from his video involving ...

NASA astronaut Don Pettit conducted a fascinating experiment on the ISS, demonstrating how charged water droplets circle a Teflon knitting needle in microgravity. The results, showcased in a video ...
