  1. Marangoni Bursting With Surfactants

    A few years ago, researchers described how an alcohol-water droplet atop an oil bath could pull itself apart through surface tension forces. Dubbed Marangoni bursting, this phenomena has shown up several times since. Here, researchers explore a twist on the behavior by adding surfactants to see how they affect the bursting phenomenon.
