The Hungarian baron Roland Eötvös (Eötvös Loránd, 1848-1919) lived in the difficult period between two revolutions in Hungary, but nevertheless he achieved revolutionary results in two fields of science: capillarity (1875-1886) and gravity (after 1886). This paper describes his famous capillary equation published in 1886 in the world-language of the time (German) and in one of the most famous scientific journals of the time (Annalen der Physik und Chemie). In his paper he showed a simple equation for the temperature dependence of surface tension of one-component liquids and more importantly he showed that this quantity approaches zero as temperature tends towards the critical temperature.

This year marks the 175th anniversary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS, the publisher of ). In striving to advance its mission, the organization's theme for its annual meeting (2 to 5 March in Washington, DC), "Science for Humanity," reiterates its commitment to explore and make sense of the world through inquiry, evidence seeking, and discovery. The words of archbishop and Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu are a reminder that this pursuit must be shared by everyone if it is to serve all of society: "My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
