(physics) The drawing of a liquid (often against gravity) into or up narrow interstices due to surface tension
Capillary water flow up a 225 mm-high porous brick after it was placed in a shallow tray of water. The time elapsed after first contact with water is indicated. From the weight increase, the estimated porosity is 25%.
(physics) The drawing of a liquid (often against gravity) into or up narrow interstices due to surface tension
Capillary action of water (polar) compared to mercury (non-polar), in each case with respect to a polar surface such as glass (≡Si–OH)
