- This time on a Moment of Science...
You've seen TV ads lauding the slurping powers of paper towels; while we won't make any exorbitant claims about them, we're going to discuss how they work.
A Moment of Science is a production of Indiana Public Media, in cooperation with Indiana University's scientific community and scientists around the world. Audio episodes are heard on stations worldwide and video episodes are seen each week on the Regional Emmy Award-winning children's program The Friday Zone on PBS stations WTIU and WFYI in Indiana.

this is shockingly good
Thank you! I learned so much.
Suspicious blue liquid, huh?
So, do the sugar molecules dissolve out when you wring out the paper towel, making it less absorbent each time?
Good question
Wow! Very informative!
How come this channel has so less subscribers?
Why then, if i stick a paper towels corner in liquid, doesnt the WHOLE thing, eventually get saturated. It only absorbs to a point, then stops. Standing, or on a flat surface.... if capillary action and positive and negative charges attract the water, there should be no stopping point until the towel is soaked ... but it doesnt do that ...
It stops when the force of the water pulling up is equal to the weight of the water pulling it down. It won't move if the forces are equal.
So I'm doing a science project about which towel absorbs more; 100% cotton or Sparkle paper towels. Can you do a video about that, because it will really help. Thanks!!! :)
the perfect ap bio research project
Who else is here in 2020?
