A hexagon-shaped plastic structure was used to generate waves that merged to form complex patterns on the water surface in a tank for an experiment co-led by Nanyang Technological University, ...

Scientists have developed water-repelling metal structures that will prevent ships from sinking even after damage.

Researchers manipulated water waves to move ping pong balls with a level of precision that seems straight out of a sci-fi movie. Reading time 3 minutes Imagine hopping onto a large floatie in a lake ...

Host Lloyd Liedtke guides students through hands-on experiments exploring buoyancy, balance and force. Learn why some objects float while others sink, how paddle boats move, and how weight and volume ...

Whether an object floats or sinks in water is determined by the ratio of its weight compared to its volume. If an object of a certain volume weighs more than an equal volume of water, it sinks because ...

Levitation sounds like science fiction — until you see it happen with nothing but moving water. This video breaks down hydrodynamic levitation, where fluid flow creates pressure changes strong enough ...

How much water do you need to keep a cruise ship afloat? Less than you’d think. Archimedes’ Paradox lets you float a huge object in just a gallon or two of water. (It also shows why you’d need a ...

Some objects float in water and other sink. But did you know that you can change whether something floats or sinks by adding a substance to the water? Let's try it and see! Pour water into a cup until ...
