When a plate drops or a glass smashes, you're annoyed by the mess and the cost of replacing them. But for some physicists, the broken pieces are a source of fascination: Why does everything break into such a huge variety ...
Water droplets can slide down or bounce off a leaf's surface because it has a waxy hydrophobic (water-repellent) coating. However, this poses a challenge to farmers when pesticides are sprayed, as the droplets can bounce ...
