The team, led by Dr. Joe Berry, Dr. Peter Sherrell and Professor Amanda Ellis observed that when a water droplet became stuck on a tiny bump ... The team investigated this charging effect with water ...

The self-focusing properties of transparent spherical water particles ... to self-phase modulation effects of the laser pulses as they propagate within the droplet.

When a droplet of water falls on a hot pan, it dances across the surface, skimming on a thin layer of steam like a tiny hovercraft; this is known as the Leidenfrost effect. But now, researchers ...
