  2. Aqua (user interface) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_(user_interface)

    Aqua windows have almost no frame or outside border, instead drop shadows are used to separate and distinguish active from inactive windows. The aesthetic of the window backgrounds changed from pin-striped to white backgrounds. Brushed-metal windows had a thick frame with a metallic texture or dark-gray background and sunken buttons and inner ...

  3. Leidenfrost effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect

    Leidenfrost droplet Demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect Leidenfrost effect of a single drop of water. The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a solid surface of another body that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.

  4. Water droplet erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_droplet_erosion

    The impact pressures invoked by discrete water droplet impact have a range considerably higher than the stagnation pressure created by liquid jet. The difference between WDE and cavitation erosion is the fact that WDE usually comprises a gaseous or vaporous phase containing discrete liquid droplets; while cavitation erosion is observed when a ...

  5. Hydrophobic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_effect

    [1] [2] The word hydrophobic literally means "water-fearing", and it describes the segregation of water and nonpolar substances, which maximizes the entropy of water and minimizes the area of contact between water and nonpolar molecules. In terms of thermodynamics, the hydrophobic effect is the free energy change of water surrounding a solute. [3]

  7. Splash (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_(fluid_mechanics)

    Slow motion video of a fruit falling into water. In fluid mechanics, a splash is a sudden disturbance to the otherwise quiescent free surface of a liquid (usually water).The disturbance is typically caused by a solid object suddenly hitting the surface, although splashes can occur in which moving liquid supplies the energy.

  8. Stable Diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_Diffusion

    Stable Diffusion was trained on pairs of images and captions taken from LAION-5B, a publicly available dataset derived from Common Crawl data scraped from the web, where 5 billion image-text pairs were classified based on language and filtered into separate datasets by resolution, a predicted likelihood of containing a watermark, and predicted ...

    The oil drop experiment was performed by Robert A. Millikan and Harvey Fletcher in 1909 to measure the elementary electric charge (the charge of the electron). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The experiment took place in the Ryerson Physical Laboratory at the University of Chicago .
