Some balls bounce on water, and some do it better than others. The best in class is the trademarked Waboba, which stands for water bouncing ball. And now a team of mechanical engineers has figured out ...

"These surfaces enable products that cannot be contaminated or dirtied, even under very messy operations. They can also radically improve the efficiency of a major element of electrical power plants ...

A Waboba is a ball that bounces on water (water bouncing ball, geddit?). That makes it kind of unusual since a simple experiment will show that many balls do not bounce on water. And that raises an ...

Researchers can now explain why some water droplets bounce like a beach ball off surfaces, without ever actually touching them. Now the design and engineering of future droplet technologies can be ...

When a water droplet lands on a surface it can splash, coat the surface cleanly, or in special conditions bounce off like a beach ball Droplets only bounce when the speed of collision with a surface ...
