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 ...

Scientists have made a discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to a phenomenon established over two centuries ago. The discovery also holds interesting ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
