The topic of water and the way it can move producing water droplets that leap -- propelled by surface tension -- and frost that jumps -- by way of electrostatics -- is a central focus of a group of ...

One moment, your spaghetti is happily bubbling away in the pot. A minute later, after busying yourself with something else, you turn around to find a hot mess all over your stove. Boiling liquid can ...

Boiling heat transfer on engineered surfaces relies on the controlled formation, growth and departure of vapour bubbles at the solid–liquid interface. Surface micro- and nanostructures can tailor ...

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 ...

When you're waiting for a pot of water to heat up on the stove, tiny bubbles are the first sign it's getting ready to boil. As the water gets hotter, the bubbles get bigger, until a rolling boil ...

Water is often the go-to resource for heat transfer, being used in large-scale cooling operations like data centers that power the internet and nuclear power plants that power cities. Discovering ...

Bubbles are an optimal way to carry heat, and Jonathan Boreyko's team has engineered a surface that makes them jump to carry even more “During my PhD research at Duke University, I discovered jumping ...
