But how water droplets freeze, ... The ripple-like density fluctuations create waves ... 2021 — Researchers have imaged the atoms at the surface of the light-absorbing layer in a new type of ...

Light waves confined in an evaporating water droplet provide a useful model of the quantum behaviour of atoms, researchers in Sweden and Mexico have discovered. Through a simple experiment, a team led ...

A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, ...

The Unexpected Power of Tiny Water Droplets. Though microlightning flashes are difficult to see with the naked eye, they are powerful enough to break molecular bonds and initiate chemical reactions.

Tiny ‘microlightning’ flashes inside water droplets may have sparked life on Earth. Study says tiny electric discharges between water droplets can make building block molecules of life ...

The water droplets are so light that their terminal velocity is super slow — between 60 and 120 feet per hour (18 to 36 meters per hour) for a droplet with a 5- to 10-micron radius.

Scientists suggest microlightning in water droplets could have sparked the creation of Earth's earliest organic molecules. The new research, published in Science Advances, builds upon the landmark ...

Researchers stumbled upon an ingredient that can stabilize droplets of genetic material: water. By Carl Zimmer Rain may have been an essential ingredient for the origin of life, according to a ...

Life may not have begun with a dramatic lightning strike into the ocean but from many smaller “microlightning” exchanges among water droplets from crashing waterfalls or breaking waves.
