Bouncing Bubbles Boost BoilingA new surface uses tiny gaps to supercharge bubble formation to transfer heatBy Rachel Berkowitz Credit: Vsevolod Vlasenko/Getty ImagesBubbles 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.It won't help you make a cup of tea faster. But a new microstructured surface, created by Virginia Tech engineer Jonathan Boreyko and his colleagues to produce…

Quantum physics is fundamentally weird, so much so that we need thought experiments of hidden cats in boxes and metaphors of spinning coins to even begin to comprehend its laws.Yet even in our classical world, where physics is more intuitive, shades of quantum behavior can be represented using relatively simple scenarios.Researchers experimenting with tiny droplets of oil running down two adjacent channels in a bath of vibrating fluid have discovered that the behavior of the droplets matches up with a famous quantum…

University of Cambridge researchers have demonstrated how comets could deliver life’s molecular building blocks to planets in the galaxy, particularly in ‘peas in a pod’ systems where planets orbit closely together.Cambridge researchers propose that comets could transport life’s building blocks to other planets, especially in ‘peas in a pod’ systems. Their findings suggest that these molecules can survive on planets with closely orbiting neighbors, offering new insights into the search for extraterrestrial life.How did…
