Surface tension
Videos
Surface tension is the energy per unit area due to having a surface in a liquid. It has the dimension of force per unit length, or energy per unit area. The two are equivalent, but when referring to e
Rain water flux from a canopy. Among the forces that govern drop formation: surface tension by cohesion, Van der Waals force, Plateau–Rayleigh instability.

Cohesion (chemistry)
Videos
In chemistry and physics, cohesion, also called cohesive attraction or cohesive force, is the action or property of like molecules sticking together, being mutually attractive. It is an intrinsic prop
