Viewpoint The many shapes of spinning drops
Liquids, such as water or oil, can form droplets that are held together by surface tension—a cohesive force that causes the surface of many liquids to behave as an elastic membrane. Because liquid droplets are fairly simple to study and control under different conditions, they have fascinated experimentalists and theoreticians—including Laplace, Gauss, Poincarè, Chandrasekhar, Bohr, and Wheeler...
متن کاملArtificial tektites: an experimental technique for capturing the shapes of spinning drops
Determining the shapes of a rotating liquid droplet bound by surface tension is an archetypal problem in the study of the equilibrium shapes of a spinning and charged droplet, a problem that unites models of the stability of the atomic nucleus with the shapes of astronomical-scale, gravitationally-bound masses. The shapes of highly deformed droplets and their stability must be calculated numeri...

the desire and drive for excellence in any endeavor in life requires an effort from the individual; in addition it requires a constellation of features around such individuals that help them to become successful. for surgeons, it is the operating room staff, the administrative and medical assistants and our residents and fellows. however, perhaps the most important contribution to a physician’s...
متن کاملThe many shapes of mitochondrial membranes.
The roles of mitochondria in cell death and in aging have generated much excitement in recent years. At the same time, however, a quiet revolution in our thinking about mitochondrial ultrastructure has begun. This revolution started with the use of vital dyes and of green fluorescent protein fusion proteins, showing that mitochondria are very dynamic structures that constantly move, divide and ...
متن کاملComplex shapes and dynamics of dissolving drops of dichloromethane.
There is a growing interest in synthetic, chemical systems capable of undergoing autonomous shape changes and/or self-motion. Important examples include solid objects such as catalytic Au/Pt nanorods, mechanically responsive gels driven by oscillating reactions, and liquid systems in which self-motion is induced by surface-tension gradients. The latter class of systems includes iodine/iodide-co...
