  1. I've put 18°C PCM (sodium sulfate+table salt in water with thickening agent) package in a hat. It cools my brain now.

    Can I be overclocking with that kind of CPU cooling?

  3. Droplets in dense sprays live much longer than expected. The surrounding vapor saturates locally, delaying evaporation.

    What controls the system is not the droplet, but the evolving vapor field.

  5. Cooling is rarely steady. Experiments show how heat transfer changes dynamically during rapid temperature drops.

    These transient effects matter for boiling regimes and could help refine models of vapor layer formation.

  7. Inside Solidification

    As children, we’re taught that there are three distinct phases of matter–solid, liquid, and gas–but the reality is somewhat more complicated. In the right–often exotic–conditions, there are far more phases matter takes on. In a recent study, researchers described a metal that sits somewhere between a liquid and a solid.

    In a liquid, atoms are free to move. During solidification, atoms lose this freedom, and their frozen positions relative to one another determine the solid’s properties. Atoms frozen into orderly patterns form crystals, whereas those frozen haphazardly become amorphous solids. In their experiment, researchers instead observed atoms in liquid metal nanoparticles that remained stationary throughout the transition from liquid to solid. The number and position of stationary atoms affected whether the final solid crystallized or not.

    By tracking these stationary atoms and their influence, the team hopes to better control the material properties of the final solidified metal. (Image credit: U. of Nottingham; research credit: C. Leist et al.; via Gizmodo)

  9. Just dropped a new rap video 🎤⚡ The EV revolution isn’t change—it’s a phase shift. Easy charging, hassle-free rides, freedom on tap. The robot with smoke? Symbolic of the fossil fuel era choking on its own demise. Future’s clean, electric, unstoppable. @EVCurveFuturist #EVs #PhaseChange #Lithium

  11. @EricHolthaus why look at that, Nth Atlantic is getting ready to do just what the climate models from the 1990s told us it would. Anyone taking bets on the exact date when the currents flip? #PhaseChange #OceanCurrents

  12. What is the connection between fractal geometry and systems at a critical point undergoing phase transition? This is one of the more useful ideas that has emerged from the study of dynamical systems, but often it's buried too deep into the study of modeling for most people to encounter it-- then it gets explained badly in pop-science books.

    At last here is a video that will set you right:
