Any water droplet can dance. All it needs is the right dance floor. Take, for instance, the water drops bouncing around in Yanlin Song’s lab. They twist, twirl and even pirouette after falling ...

Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using ...

KnowHOW team explains: Water drops, or, for that matter, the drops of any other liquid, are spherical in shape due to a phenomenon called surface tension. In a liquid this acts on the surface of a ...

The Fourth Board of Appeal of the EUIPO has dismissed Logitech Europe SA’s appeal against the refusal to register its 3D mark for the shape of a microphone, agreeing that the mark lacked distinctive ...

The films morphed into 3D shapes as they absorbed water such as pasta shapes (macaroni and rotini in this instance) and flowers.

Researchers have introduced a new adjustable wheel that can change its shape to move over difficult surfaces. This novel wheel, inspired by the way surface tension reshapes a water droplet, offers ...

Researchers have taken the precise art of origami down to the microscopic scale. Using only a drop of water, the scientists have folded flat sheets of silicon nitride into cubes, pyramids, half ...

These self-morphing 3D wood shapes could be future of wood manufacturing Someday, wood furniture could be shipped flat and then dried to form a final shape.

A new display “screen” made out of water droplets creates 3-D images that can be viewed without special glasses.

Projecting images onto water surfaces is the latest display technology to get a 3D makeover. With its ability to target light onto and between individual water droplets the AquaLux 3D can display ...
