Propelled by a gradient in surface tension, a pool of ink uncannily finds its way through a maze of milk. What began as a ...

Core topics include surface hydrology, groundwater hydrology, environmental fluid mechanics, and water resource systems analysis. MS students can pursue a thesis or coursework option of 30 semester ...

Researchers discovered that ink in a soap-and-milk experiment follows the path of least resistance due to surface tension ...

Surface tension -- the cohesion that causes molecules on the surface of a fluid to pull together and act like a membrane, resisting exterior forces -- plays a large role in this ink-on-milk ...
