When Science meets Art, beautiful objects could be created in scientific experiments. Sometimes, they are obtained by chance.


Liquid jet observed when coalescence of droplets occurs. [picture T.Gilet]
droplet evaporation
Pancake bubbles moving along an incline. Such bubbles are highly deformed during their slow motion and surprising collective effects can be observed. [picture Y.Bertho]
soap films
Capillary instabilities in a soap film. [picture T.Scheller]
droplet evaporation
Evaporation of a tiny water droplet onto a hydrophobic surface. Images reveal the pinning of the contact line. [pictures L.Kabeya]
contact network
Simulations of the contact network in a packing of spheres. [simulation F.Ludewig]
convection in soap films
Thermal picture of a soap film. Convection patterns.
stretched antibubble
Antibubbles are fragile objects but they could be dramatically stretched!

When a droplet crosses an oil layer, multiple coating could be obtained. This leads to something like a liquid onion. [picture S.Dorbolo]

A droplet floats and oscillates at the surface of a liquid. [picture S.Dorbolo]
