WHEN the available experimental values of the surface tensions of liquid metals are plotted against the reciprocals of the corresponding atomic volumes, the accompanying diagram is obtained.

Discover the amazing properties of water's surface tension as you make metal paper clips float on water. You'll learn about the forces that hold water molecules together and how insects like water ...

Recent investigations have shown that the air spaces of the lung are coated with a complex substance that lowers surface tension. It now appears that this substance keeps the lungs from collapsing ...

The paper clip is more dense than water but can rest on the surface of the water because of the water's surface tension. Evidence of water's surface tension can be seen where the water strider's legs ...

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 35, No. 6 (Dec., 1924), pp. 526-536 (11 pages) A systematic study of the surface tension of liquid culture mediums has been made. Nine standard mediums have a ...
