Why is surface tension a force parallel to the interface?
Antonin Marchand, Joost H. Weijs, Jacco H. Snoeijer +1
A paperclip can float on water. Drops of mercury refuse to spread on a surface. These capillary phenomena are macroscopic manifestations of molecular interactions, and can be expla…
Why surface nanobubbles live for hours
Joost H. Weijs, Detlef Lohse
We present a theoretical model for the experimentally found but counter-intuitive exceptionally long lifetime of surface nanobubbles. We can explain why, under normal experimental…
Initial spreading of low-viscosity drops on partially wetting surfaces
Koen G. Winkels, Joost H. Weijs, Antonin Eddi +1
Liquid drops start spreading directly after brought into contact with a partial wetting substrate. Although this phenomenon involves a three-phase contact line, the spreading motio…
