| surface potential | <cell biology, physiology> The electrostatic potential due to surface charged groups and adsorbed ions at a surface. It is usually measured as the zeta potential at the Helmholtz slipping plane outside the surface. (19 Jan 1998) |

| surface tension | The expression of intermolecular attraction at the surface of a liquid, in contact with air or another gas, a solid, or another immiscible liquid, tending to pull the molecules of the liquid inward from the surface; dimensional formula: mt-2. (05 Mar 2000) |
| surface tension theory of narcosis | That substances which lower the surface tension of water pass more readily into the cell and cause narcosis by decreasing metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
