Eddie Gonzales Jr. – MessageToEagle.com – Something as simple as the motion of water drops on surfaces should actually be understood—one would think. In fact there are still

A new study led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers shows why liquid droplets have the ability to erode hard surfaces, a discovery that could help engineers design more erosion-resistant materials.
