droplet

"The charge a droplet acquires as it slides depends heavily on the specific surface -- we measured differences of up to a factor of ten," explains Zhongyuan Ni, the study's first author.

The droplet survives for only a tiny fraction of a second before expanding and converting into other particles.

That creates a basic trade-off between nucleation, the initial formation of droplets, and droplet mobility.

By simply changing the number of bubbles in each droplet, the team found they could dramatically alter the pattern left behind as the liquid evaporated.

I bent and dipped my fingertip into the water, picking my droplet, then let it fall on one piece of glass.

It means the unknown absorber must either be extremely effective at absorbing light, exist at a very high concentration inside the droplets, or satisfy both conditions.

They then converted the astronomical measurements into something commonly used in laboratory UV-visible spectroscopy: the absorption coefficient of the liquid making up the cloud droplets.

Along with friction and chemical reactions, tiny electrical discharges from charged droplets may also play a role in how coatings break down over time.

The team then changed the experiment by allowing the droplets to roll over common materials before they hit the Teflon.

The droplets of water came from somewhere high up in the dark recesses of the roof; they dripped steadily down and broke the surface of the subterranean lake, causing a continuous ripple.
