Waarom balletjes op een hete plaat piepen en springen

Waterdruppels zweven in een hete pan vanwege het zogenoemde Leidenfrost-effect. Nu hebben natuurkundigen van AMOLF en Universiteit Leiden een variatie ontdekt: het Elastische Leidenfrost-effect. Het verklaart waarom zogeheten hydrogel balletjes …

Water is surprisingly ordered at the nanoscale

Researchers from AMOLF and Swiss EPFL have shown that the surface of minuscule water drops surrounded by a hydrophobic substance such as oil is surprisingly ordered. At room temperature, the surface water molecules of these droplets have much stronger interactions than at a normal water surface. This may shed new light on a variety of atmospheric, biological and even geological processes. Nanometric-sized water drops are everywhere – in the air as droplets or aerosols, in …
