Explore the Marangoni effect—the surface-tension tug-of-war driven by alcohol evaporation—that makes wine droplets climb the glass, enables silicon wafer drying, and governs fluid flow in microgravity. We’ll trace the physics from dinner-table observations to space-age engineering, uncover the history behind this subtle force, and show how tiny surface forces can shape big technologies.
