This effect is behind the arrangement of polystyrene nanoparticles in hexagonal lattices and straight lines on silicon dioxide, and it can occur in layers that are too thin to exhibit Rayleigh-B?ard convection. It also leads to instability in Langmuir monolayers, and, according to Pearson, those instabilities occur when its namesake's number is greater than eighty. This effect is responsible for the unusual deposition of solutes at the center of an evaporating drop of liquid, and for the stability of soap films. James Thompson first described this effect in a paper explaining that a gradient in alcohol content causes droplets to form above the surface making tears of wine. For 10 points, name this effect in which liquid flows according to differences in surface ten
