I'm unsure. I suppose this can't be the case for large amounts of liquid. I imagine if you had a blob of 1 m^3 of water and two little drops of oil on either side, they wouldn't have any way of even knowing about each other. For smaller drops though, I was thinking the cohesive attraction...

If you have two different liquids (water and oil for example) mixed together and free floating without gravity, will they separate as they do here on Earth? If so, what property would determine the layering structure? I suspect they would separate, and if left undisturbed probably form a...

That is indeed quite interesting, but it actually sounds like the opposite of the trait I'm looking for. It sounds like for He-3 and 4 there is a set of conditions for which supercooling is actually the stable state (at least if we simply define "supercooling" as being liquid while having a...

It seems like having the ability to become supercooled below their melting point is the default for liquids (at least liquids without suspended particles, without many interfaces, and without other perturbations). Are there any liquids that don't supercool at all? Or if not, are there any...
