Dewdrops on a spiderweb reveal the physics behind cell structures – Princeton University
The physics at work in the beading of dewdrops on a spiderweb is the same as that which drives the sub-microscopic beading of a protein called TPX2, which is necessary…
As any cook knows, some liquids mix well with each other, but others do not.
For example, when a tablespoon of vinegar is poured into water, a brief stir suffices to thoroughly combine the two liquids. However, a tablespoon of oil poured into water will coalesce into droplets that no amount of stirring can dissolve.
