A hidden feature of water, long submerged, has finally been brought to the surface. New experiments have revealed supercooled water’s critical point — a specific pressure and temperature at which two ...

Host Lloyd Liedtke guides students through hands-on experiments exploring buoyancy, balance and force. Learn why some objects float while others sink, how paddle boats move, and how weight and volume ...

This experiment demonstrates how water at different temperatures has different densities, creating beautiful layering effects. You'll see how warm and cold water interact and learn about density ...

It sounds like one of the easiest experiments possible: Take two cups of water: one hot, one cold. Place both in a freezer and note which one freezes first. Common sense suggests that the colder water ...

Editor’s note: This is part of a series called “The Day Tomorrow Began,” which explores the history of breakthroughs at UChicago. Learn more here. A field experiment is a research method that uses ...
