I am only twelve and I studied this phenomenon for a school project. What I found out is the glass has a tiny adhesive force, but it is so small only a few water molecules can be pulled upward onto the edge of the glass tube.

I will be posting a YouTube video about this subject soon enough, so keep watching my (DaedalusSlayer) channel if you want more information. ;)
