N2 - Fluids are everywhere. They are the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the blood that flows through our bodies. In nature, water striders seem to defy physics, but they simply combine surface tension of the water with the hydrophobicity of their legs to walk on water. Fluids have unique properties, including surface tension, viscosity, and capillary action, that engineers have taken advantage of to create practical applications, such as reverse osmosis, inkjet printing, and DNA sequencing.
