The paper clip is more dense than water but can rest on the surface of the water because of the water's surface tension. Evidence of water's surface tension can be seen where the water strider's legs ...

The attraction of molecules at the surface of a liquid is called surface tension. The polarity of water molecules can help explain why water has a strong surface tension. Students will observe several ...

How come? It's the natural surface tension of water that's the problem. Water molecules are H 2 O, and are made of two atoms of hydrogen (that's the H) and a single atom of oxygen (that's the O).

It’s well known that water behaves differently in the near ... Pettit attributes their tenacity to ordinary surface tension no longer being overpowered by the tug of gravity.

Is water wet? It’s a simple question that plunges deep into the realms of science and philosophy. While some argue that water ...

Inspired by the surface tension of a droplet of liquid, researchers have created an adjustable wheel that alters shape in real-time, tackling uneven surfaces and high obstacles with ease.

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 ...
