Issue Highlights

Visualizing Marangoni Flow. Intermolecular forces and surface tension gradients in solutions lead to Marangoni flows, where liquid flows from a region of low surface tension towards higher surface tension. Details of these flows, not visible to the naked eye, are made visible on an overhead projector owing to variation in the index of refraction. The demonstrations described in the article by Mundell use Marangoni effects to create images on the overhead projector simulating flowers, an evil eye, and a zen garden. In the image on the cover, a floral pattern emerges as acetone evaporates from the dyed Marangoni solution generating a colorful surface tension gradient. The ideas behind these surface tension flows solidify understanding of intermolecular forces and lead to a discussion of intermolecular forces, properties of liquids, surface tension, and Marangoni effects.

The cover was designed by Betsy True.
