During hypersonic flight, an aircraft or missile flies at speeds exceeding Mach 5. Mach 5 is five times the speed of sound, ...

Researchers have discovered that water generates an electrical charge up to 10 times greater than previously understood when it moves across a surface. The team observed when a water droplet ...

A hybrid approach simulates the breakup and entrapment of water droplets in hypersonic vehicles’ air flow fields.

If the surface is at least 400° Fahrenheit (well above the boiling point of water), cushions of water vapor, or steam, form underneath them, keeping them levitated.

We all know the ingredients for water. You take two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen, moosh them together just so, and voila – you have a molecule of the most important compound to life on ...

Understanding the deposition of micro- or nano-particles is central to designing innovative bioassays, biosensors, functional surfaces and ink-jet printing. An evaporating droplet containing colloidal ...

Thin oil films absorbed onto the surface of water droplets lead to anomalously stable, surfactant-free oil and water mixtures, according to a new study. The findings demonstrate a mechanism for ...

From coffee rings to saucer patterns—how graphene oxide's surface chemistry shapes evaporating droplet deposits by Yogita, B Kumar, S Rana, K Sharma, R K Shukla, R Bhardwaj, S Chatterjee ...
