The secret life of liquids

Dancing drops, pulsating cells, dishwater propulsion: we show in short experiments and videos how exciting a water surface can be. The reason for this is the Marangoni effect, which occurs when there are differences in surface tension. By the way, this also works at home in the kitchen.
Start 17:00 o'clock
End 23:00 o'clock
