Language Boundaries Driven by Surface Tension
H uman language is unique among communication systems in being a cultural system characterized by prodigious and pervasive variation and flux on many dimensions [1, 2]. Until the advent of global communication, linguistic varieties were predominantly localized to spatially bound areas, and much research in dialectology has been devoted to understanding the shape and distribution of these dialec...
متن کاملDependence of surface stress, surface energy and surface tension on potential and charge.
A toy model and simple model functions are used to exemplify the relation between surface tension, surface energy and surface stress given by Shuttleworth's equation. Variations of the surface tension of charged interfaces must obey Lippmann's equation. Variations Deltaf of the surface stress of electrodes would be either equal to or proportional to and smaller than those variations Deltagamma ...
متن کاملSurface tension-driven self-alignment.
Surface tension-driven self-alignment is a passive and highly-accurate positioning mechanism that can significantly simplify and enhance the construction of advanced microsystems. After years of research, demonstrations and developments, the surface engineering and manufacturing technology enabling capillary self-alignment has achieved a degree of maturity conducive to a successful transfer to ...
متن کاملImproving energy conversion efficiency for triboelectric nanogenerator with capacitor structure by maximizing surface charge density.
Nanogenerators with capacitor structures based on piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, triboelectricity and electrostatic induction have been extensively investigated. Although the electron flow on electrodes is well understood, the maximum efficiency-dependent structure design is not clearly known. In this paper, a clear understanding of triboelectric generators with capacitor structures is pres...
متن کاملScaling law in liquid drop coalescence driven by surface tension
This Letter reports experimental results on the coalescence of two liquid drops driven by surface tension. Using a high speed imaging system, we studied the early-time evolution of the liquid bridge that is formed upon the initial contact of two liquid drops in air. Experimental results confirmed the scaling law that was proposed by Eggers et al. based on a simple and yet elegant physical argum...
