Sentences with phrase «between water droplets»

The observed effect may well be due to electrical discharge between water droplets.

However, plant leaves and biofilms both vary in this respect: when the lotus effect is present, small air bubbles are trapped between the water droplet and the surface of the leaf, whereas this does not occur in the rose petal effect.

Not exact matches

Oil dispersant is that dish soap, lowering the tension between oil and water and allowing small droplets of oil to break away from the larger clumps.

A team at the University of Nottingham used a simulation that matches experimental and in situ observations to characterize ice on a spectrum between rime ice that forms from water vapor and glaze ice that forms from supercooled water droplets.

It increases the repulsion between the water and glass, causing the water to form droplets.

As the water naturally evaporates, the vapor fills the area in between the pillars below the droplet, building pressure.

Protocells made from oil droplets in water allow soluble chemicals to be exchanged between the drops and their surrounding solution.

Representations of glitches and distortions in paintings of mutated poppies and water droplets suggest the presence of a hidden screen between the viewer and the image, and test the limitations of living in a digital reality.

Moonbows are natural atmospheric phenomena that occur by the interaction between sunlight reflected off the surface of the moon and water droplets suspended in the atmosphere

Recent experimental work at CERN supports an hypothesis that solar magnetic activity throttles formation of cloud water droplet condensation sites and this then explains the correlation between solar magnetic minima with cold epochs.

The study found a positive correlation between low altitude cloud amounts and dust at the coast of North Africa, which supports the theory that dust particles act as a place for water droplets to form around in thin low clouds.

Because of the different intramolecular forces between water molecules as vapor in air, water, and ice, the wavelengths of emission and absorption are shifted; some of the radiation from the water / ice droplets at the top of a cloud can escape to space because the atmosphere above it is transparent at its wavelengths, whereas the same radiation from droplets at the bottom of a cloud will be absorbed and re-emitted in random directions from the droplets above, including back down to the originating droplets.
