Abstract
Under the influence of surface tension thin cylinders disintegrate into rows of spheres. The spacing and size of these spheres are discussed. Furthermore, an estimate of the time for disintegration is given. The phenomenon appears to be quite common. Examples discussed here are potassium bubbles in tungsten wires, water inclusions in copper, nickel fibres in silver and glue on a spider's web.
