The surface tension was determined by comparing the shape of the drop hanging from a syringe to the Young–Laplace equation. A capillary tip of 0.71 mm outside diameter was used, producing ...

But now the 'mystery' has been solved by a mathematics student - and it involves surface tension ... Townsend applied a 200-year old formula called the Young–Laplace equation to the problem ...

This tension is described by the Shuttleworth equation, which was presented more than 60 years ago and is considered a fundamental equation of surface thermodynamics.

Jason Latimer from Impossible Science defies gravity with the surface tension of water. Jason Latimer from Impossible Science, together with Constance Zimmer and her daughter, shows how to defy ...

The paper clip is more dense than water but can rest on the surface of the water because of the water's surface tension. Evidence of water's surface tension can be seen where the water strider's legs ...
