How doing dishes led to surface science
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Denied a university education simply because of her gender, Agnes Pockels casually pioneered modern surface tension physics using her dirty dishwater. She invented the slide trough in her kitchen sink to measure how oils and soaps spread across water, establishing the foundational laws of surface science. She completely altered the course of fluid dynamics from her kitchen table.
One discovery leads to another.
