Bubbles rising through boiling water are among nature's best tools for carrying excess heat away from a surface. And now there's a better way to boil: make tinier, speedier bubbles that work in pairs.

Researchers at MIT have unlocked the hidden power of boiling by exploring its role in energy, cooling, and more, promising breakthroughs in efficiency and safety. Matteo Bucci, an associate professor ...

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 ...

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 ...

Oregon State University engineers have figured out a way of using industrial, electronics applications to improve the art of boiling water. The benefits to this improvement could be two-fold: boiled ...

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 ...
