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 ...

A novel surface treatment allows water to reach a boiling point more easily, thus requiring less energy to do so. As water in a pot or other container approaches the boiling point, numerous bubbles ...

The fine folks at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been in the news a lot recently. Not only are they hunting for dark matter, but they've also developed a much more efficient way ...

At sea level, water will freeze at 0° C (32° F) and boil at 100° C (212° F). But it seems temperature isn’t the only variable that can drastically change the state of water. Researchers from MIT have ...

Foam, specially-coated copper, and bubble wrap are components of a simple but innovative new device that can boil water without electricity, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced on ...

Researchers have figured out a new way to use the sun to boil water sans mirrors and lenses. We're basically talking about a sponge and bubble wrap. Using the combination, researchers at the ...

Scientists have created a sponge-like device that can boil water using only sunlight. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) combined foam, heat-conducting materials and bubble ...
