The cohesive force of water is high due to the strong bond between hydrogen molecules, but other liquids like alcohol or acetone have a lower cohesive force, making them better at wetting solids.

Modelling and observations of the kilometre-sized asteroid (29075) 1950 DA reveal it to be a ‘rubble pile’ that is rotating faster than is allowed by gravity and friction; cohesive forces such ...

The presence of cohesive forces in massive, life-threatening asteroids means that colliding a large object against the incoming asteroid could actually worsen the impact’s effect, ...

Cohesive forces prevent the rotational breakup of rubble-pile asteroid (29075) 1950 DA. Nature , 2014; 512 (7513): 174 DOI: 10.1038/nature13632 Cite This Page : ...

Landslides are one striking example of erosion. When the bonds that hold particles of dirt and rock together are overwhelmed by a force -- often in the form of water -- sufficient to pull the rock ...

"Cohesive forces will be present in every asteroid, and not just the fast-spinning ones," Rozitis said. "It is just easier to observe the effects of cohesive forces in the fast-spinning ones." ...
