Ripples, like ones produced by raindrops falling in a puddle, are also called capillary waves. Studied since antiquity, they ...

Researchers have discovered ultra-fast “plastronic waves” on a water-repellent surface, traveling at unprecedented speeds.

This important study examines the role of pericytes in patterning the zebrafish blood-brain barrier (BBB) and controlling its permeability. Using pdgfrb mutant zebrafish models lacking brain pericytes ...

A new eco-friendly and cutting-edge irrigation system at the Green Museum of the Royal Palace of Caserta aligns with the ...

Although liquids typically flow downwards, the capillary effect — a gravity-defying ... including distilled water, acetone and methanol, to their silicon surfaces. Using a camera to capture ...

A joint study between the Institute for Environment and Energy, Technology and Analytics (IUTA e. V., Duisburg, Germany) and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (Germany) explored the combination of ...

Those works found that their footpad’s stickiness comes from hydrophilic capillary-enhanced adhesion: The force of water being drawn into narrow grooves in the footpad creates suction that helps the ...

Researchers have discovered various topological structures in water waves (skyrmions, merons, Möbius and vortices with ...

Combining concepts from statistical physics with machine learning, researchers at the University of Bayreuth have shown that ...

Each pad is covered in rows of microscopic hair-like structures called setae. These structures are separated by narrow grooves that draw in liquid water through capillary action, creating suction.
