On July 9, we explored the science of capillary action in our new kids video series: Summer School with Live Science. In this week's installment, Live Science producer, Diana Whitcroft, will ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 104, Section 1: JOURNAL OF AEROSPACE (1995), pp. 750-764 (15 pages) The Capillary Pumped Loop Flight Experiment (CAPL) employs a passive two-phase thermal control system that ...

Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, and in opposition to, external forces like gravity. In this walking water experiment, liquid uses the ...

To spread the joy of science, GSK Science in the Summer is sharing this experiment from its chemistry curriculum that you can do at home. Please note, for optimum safety, an adult should be present ...

When you water plants, you water their roots. But how does the water travel all the way from the roots of the plant to the leaves? They are standing upright: wouldn’t that defy gravity? In fact, there ...

With fracking, scientists have calculated the expected level of capillary rise with the Lucas-Washburn equation, a mathematical model whose earliest parameters were first devised nearly a century ago.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — We have two holidays to celebrate this week - Saint Patrick’s Day and the start of spring. Today’s experiment ties in both of those holidays. The experiment, sometimes called "walking ...

The video was posted by ISS Research on Twitter. For years now, NASA has been developing a space cup that can keep the liquid in its place even with an open top. National Aeronautics and Space ...
