Water defies gravity as it travels from a plant's roots to its leaves! Learn more and explore capillary action with ECHO’s Science Spotlight activity you can do at home.

This Friday (July 9), we will explore the science of capillary action in our new kids video series: Summer School with Live Science.

The water is able to move through the gaps in the paper towel, a process known as capillary action. This action allows the water an upward force and the water can move from one cup to another.

Hey Ray! Candles And Capillary Action November 20, 2021 / 6:21 AM EST / CBS Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Candles are neat, calming to some and full of science.

Not only are the students excited about launching their experiment into space, but they want to write a paper afterward so that researchers studying perpetual motion and capillary action can learn ...

Try this project to learn about capillary action, and repeat a classic demonstration from over 100 years ago! Background Have you ever looked closely at water in a drinking glass?

Our friends at Mad Science join FOX6 WakeUp with an easy and fun experiment to explain capillary action.

Capillary action is the same process that enables plants and trees to take water and nutrients from the soil up through their stems or trunks and into their leaves, branches, flowers, and fruit.

Laboratory experiments on nanoscale capillary action have proven inconclusive to date.

Coating the inside of glass microtubes with a polymer hydrogel material dramatically alters the way capillary forces draw water into the tiny structures, researchers have found. The discovery ...
