A novel surface treatment allows water to reach a boiling point more easily, thus requiring less energy to do so. As water in a pot or other container approaches the boiling point, numerous bubbles ...

The fine folks at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been in the news a lot recently. Not only are they hunting for dark matter, but they've also developed a much more efficient way ...

While the cold weather may deter many from going outside, others like to take advantage of the freezing temperatures and test out different science experiments. From blowing frozen bubbles to throwing ...

The science pros at TKOR explain how salt crystals form from water through the process of boiling the ocean. An American ...

This compilation features five liquid nitrogen experiments that show what extreme cold really does to everyday materials.

A nanoscale view of bubble formation: Using computer simulation, a research team succeeded in modeling the behavior of molecules at the liquid -- gas interface at the nanometer scale, enabling them to ...

Scientists studied how heat affects eggs, developing a new boiling method for a velvety yolk and fully set whites. The technique, called periodic cooking, alternates eggs between boiling and lukewarm ...
