Sur Terre, la pesanteur a un effet physique dominant sur les fluides. L'élimination de la pesanteur, qui a une action unidirectionnelle, nous permet d'étudier et d'utiliser les forces de moindre intensité, comme la tension superficielle, dont l'orientation constitue une fonction de la forme des fluides. On se sert de la tension superficielle pour pomper et séparer des fluides, déplacer des bulles et même créer un creuset. Le Canada fabrique en ce moment un four à zone flottante destiné à la production de matériaux de très grande pureté. La tension superficielle remplace les parois du creuset, lesquelles contamineraient le matériau. 2, record 1, French, - four%20%C3%A0%20zone%20flottante
