A new paper in the journal Nature Physics offers insights into the physics of liquid droplets—and while many people may not appreciate the mathematical accomplishment, they will benefit from the athletic wear and raincoats it makes possible. The recent article, "Tricky Tension," explores the intersection of physics and textiles and how wetting is influenced by the structure of tiny individual liquid droplets.
