surface tension and
so the sticks moved.
Water, for example, has a high
surface tension,
so it beads up, whereas alcohol, with a lower
surface tension, tends to spread out.
Oils such as pentane have a low
surface tension — 15mN / m —
so they sag under gravity and tend to form a flat pool rather than a spherical droplet, meeting the
surface at a low angle.

so robust that even when droplets of hexadecane — with a
surface tension of 27.5 mN / m — are dropped onto the

so has lower
surface tension, than liquid at the top.
Natural icicles form from dirty water that sits on roofs and in guttering, which has a low
surface tension and
so should form ripples.

surface tension of water.
There is
so much left barely unsaid in many of their scenes together (and those with Nivola),
so much dancing just below the formal
surface, that the movie plays as a veritable clinic in generating on - screen
tension.»

surface contrasting assumptions,
tensions, constraints, and opportunities
so that together, we can better understand — and act on — the choices that lie before us.

so the
surfaces get an extra degree of
tension to them.
Also known as the Jesus Christ Lizard, for obvious reasons, slow motion photography has shown that it rears up on its hind legs and moves its legs in a free wheeling manner
so quickly, that its feet are not in contact with the water
surface long enough to break its
surface tension.
But it is exactly this
tension of
surface idealism and historical reality that makes it
so powerful.
In Peter Doig's paintings, the architecture appears and disappears within the screen of branches,
so that foreground and background are held together in
tension, opening up the drama within the
surface of the painting.
We witness the
tension between
surface and depth and the
tension of the modernist struggle familiar through the push - pull theories of painting and
surface put forth by the influential teacher Hans Hoffman, the entanglement between line and space
so apparent in Robert Motherwell's early open form paintings, and especially Lucio Fontana, whose Spatialism in the 1940s through the 1960s emphasized the puncturing of
surface and the monochrome as a two dimensional membrane.
This
tension permeates the exhibition in the war of attrition between nature and the built environment, in the eclectic mix of culture and class but above all in the hoard of color and display and the pervasive sense that
so much attention to
surface must be concealing something.
