The setup for this experiment consisted of cooling PLA plastic with liquid nitrogen and putting the frozen parts in a cheap, As Seen On TV blender. The resulting chips were smaller than the ...

An air-filled balloon cooled in liquid nitrogen will shrink. When warmed back up in air, the balloon re-inflates. Skilled individuals can make balloon animals to dunk in liquid nitrogen. Otherwise, ...

IN some experiments we recently made to see if a Raman effect could be observed with homopolar molecules, we found that the spectrum of the light scattered by liquid air included six sharp and ...

Liquid nitrogen is fun stuff to play with ... We’d love to see the same experiment done with a piston-type steam engine, too. Video after the break.

A rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) is now being used by an Oxfordshire-based company for its superconducting properties ...

Southwest Research Institute partnered with the Carnegie Institution for Science to perform laboratory experiments to better ...

The slit ring, iron ring, and acrylic ring will not jump at room temperature. A ring cooled in liquid nitrogen will jump higher than an identical ring that is at room temperature. Contrary to popular ...
