I would have named it “Water Droplet Bouncing on a Superhydrophobic Carbon Nanotube Array ” but I wasn’t sure if you’d look if I did.
From the YouTube description:
“All parts of the video were captured by high speed camera operated at
various frame rates. The droplet was illuminated from behind with a diffuse
halogen light. The droplet was dropped on the surface by at-tipped needle
and the volume of the droplet was controlled precisely by syringe pump.”
From me: “It’s really neat…watch it. (Oh and the sequence starting around 2:21…it’s like watching magic.) ”
Oh heck yes I would look!
I love at the end, “This work was supported by…”
That wasn’t work – they’re playing!!
The best kind of play.
Thank you, Alice!
Ha ha…actually now that I think about it I should have counted on you to look had a tossed a couple words like “Superhydrophobic” and “nanotube” into a title.
I admit I had a momentary lapse of reason on that one. I mean honestly what self-respecting slightly geeky (i.e. incredibly smart and interesting) person wouldn’t look?!?
And oh yes, that’s some fine “work” they are doing there. 🙂
