Anxious for your pasta water to reach a boiling point? You’re probably tired of hearing "a watched pot never boils." That’s why instead we have the hard facts for you on the science behind the ...

You know those reassuring physics facts, like water freezes at 0°C (32°F) and boils at 100°C (212°F)? Well, it turns out that when scientists start playing around with things, those become a lot more ...

It's a well-known fact that water, at sea level, starts to boil at a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 100 degrees Celsius. And scientists have long observed that when water is confined in ...

When water, in its liquid form, is confined within carbon nanotubes, it takes on some amazing new properties. Researchers at MIT have discovered that water trapped inside carbon nanotubes can actually ...

Please give an overview of osmometry in general. Osmometry is a method to determine a sample´s osmolality. This is the total number of osmotically active particles solved in a solution. These ...

Temperatures are currently in the single digits across central Iowa with some slight warmth in the days ahead. Earlier this week, however, it got as low as -25 degrees during a period of below-zero ...

Scientists have been able to recreate the extreme conditions found on icy moons in deep space—and revealed the unstable behavior of water. In the near-zero pressure environment of space, water reacts ...
