Liquid bridges are regions of liquid that span the gap between two or more solid supports.
This includes water suspended between particles of sand, liquid in a fabric, and water that may enter the lungs. We have investigated some dynamics issues of bridges in simulated low gravity conditions by magnetic levitation. Financial support from NASA is acknowledged. Notice the thin thread connecting the top and bottom regions just before separation. This bridge is composed of manganese chloride tetrahydrate and water , which means that the liquid is much less viscous than the glycerol bridge, and therefore flows much more easily.
