Building Objects With Water

kjeldor writes "According to this NASA article, an experiment conducted on water in space shows that a metal loop dipped into water can sustain a thin membrane of water (just like soap bubbles) in diameters up to 4 or 5 inches without breaking. This surface can be moved around, painted on, etc. without breaking. Apparently, with the absence of gravity's pull to break the intermolecular forces, water has the ability to hold together into a membrane in an unconventional manner. This may lead to some interesting future projects."

I'm not impressed

I've been able to create far more interesting shapes with water than thin circles. I don't even need lower gravity to accomplish this.

The trick is to lower the temperature enough.

Try drinking aluminum when you're thirsty though....
