![Dancing Drop - Magic Disappearance Act 1
A dissolving (and evaporating) drop of dichloromethane floating on water containing a surfactant ([CTAB]=0.25mM). There is NO external intervention; this is spontaneous, selforganized motion! The viewed area is approx. 1 inch wide and the movie plays close to real time.
