Superficial complexity

Nature, 1999, vol. 400, issue 6746, 719-719

Abstract: Using, among other things, a high voltage and a layer of molten salt, Daedalus plans to drive the surface tension of a molten metal electrode negative. Such a liquid will increase its surface area vigorously and break into separate droplets. Once they cease to share the voltage, these droplets should regain positive surface tension, reattaching themselves to form a complex fractal surface.
