In very narrow spaces, liquids behave more like gels

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/...10603080115.htm


ScienceDaily (June 3, 2011) — Three molecules thick, or two, or one: how does an extremely thin layer of trapped liquid behave when we make it even thinner? Measurements made using the Atomic Force Microscope show that the forces of friction increase with each step. Liquids begin to behave more like a gel. This is the conclusion presented by Sissi de Beer in her PhD thesis. The thesis reveals new findings about forces that play a role in countless biological processes, for example
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."

Ken je met drie-moleculen-dikte nog wel over een vloeistof praten?


Dat is zoiets als het dubbelspleet experiment doen met 3 fotonen.
