Experiments

1. A water-walking lizard at the American Museum of Natural History and a superwetting solution at 20:1 water versus a solution of C12E8 at 7 times the CMC and C12E0 at 21 times the solubility limit on a hydrophobic solid*:
       MOV (13.0 MB) | WMV (24.1 MB)

2. Water droplet versus an aqueous superwetting solution at 20:1 water versus a solution of C12E8 at 7 times the CMC and C12E0 at 21 times the solubility limit on a hydrophobic solid*:
       MOV (5.1 MB) | WMV (8.3 MB)

3. Water droplet versus an aqueous solution of C12E8 at 7 times the CMC and C12E0 at 21 times the solubility limit on a hydrophobic solid*:
