Capillarity and Wetting Phenomena: Drops, Bubbles, Pearls, Waves

Capillarity and wetting phenomena are the study of the behavior of liquids at interfaces. These phenomena are responsible for a wide range of everyday phenomena, such as the formation of drops, bubbles, and waves. They also play an important role in a variety of industrial processes, such as microfluidics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology.
