Water is the foundational element of life. Its high melting and boiling temperatures relative to analogs such as hydrogen sulfide are a precondition to life. The density maximum at 4°C makes ice float, ensuring that lakes and oceans do not freeze on the bottom. The high surface tension of water ...

We investigate the deformation of elastic microcapsules adsorbed at liquid-liquid interfaces. An initially spherical elastic capsule at a liquid-liquid interface undergoes circumferential stretching due to the liquid-liquid surface tension and becomes lens- or discus-shaped, depending on its ...

A viscous liquid filament subjected to an axial electric field exhibits different behaviors including jetting, coiling, and whipping, which result from the delicate interplay of viscous, electrostatic, and surface tension stresses. Control over these dynamic behaviors of electrified liquid ...

We report controlled and tunable Marangoni flows resulting from concentration gradients that are induced by placing a droplet of volatile solute above the surface of a liquid. Condensation of the solute at the liquid surface results in a surface tension gradient that drives a permanent flow of ...

Electrolytic gas evolution is a fundamental phenomenon occurring in a large number of industrial applications. In these processes gas bubbles are formed at the electrode from a supersaturated solution. Since dissolved gases can change the surface tension, a gas concentration gradient may cause ...
