Surface tension measurements are a central task in the study of surfaces and interfaces. For
liquid metals, they are complicated by the high temperatures and the consequently high …

Surface tension plays a core role in dominating various surface and interface phenomena.
For liquid metals with high melting temperature, a profound understanding of the behaviors …

An important reason for the century-long debate concerning wetting dynamics is the lack of
decisive information about the contact line. The contact line cannot be treated as a …
