Why does water form droplets?

Nov 2, 2023

Delving into the chemistry of water, the podcast discusses why water forms droplets and how it exhibits unique behaviors like surface tension. Explore the science of intermolecular forces, adhesion, and cohesion, with a focus on natural waterproof materials. Discover how biomimicry inspired by lotus plants shapes water droplets, alongside reflections on transitions and acknowledgments of references.
