Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using 3D printing of closely spaced spines, they have combined menisci to create ...

Ever wonder what makes water dance around your windshield the way it does? It’s all a matter of surface tension: a simple set of rules that makes science sometimes look like art. Stanford’s Nate J.

Biological tissues exhibit two contradictory properties: they have a robust architecture that is required for their maintenance and resistance to stress, and they can be extensively remodelled during ...
