Hot ice is made using sodium acetate, which is a salt created from the reaction between sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and acetic acid (vinegar). Hand in Hot Ice When this reaction occurs, sodium acetate

A synapse is a junction formed between two neurons, which allows the cells to communicate. The neuron approaching the synapse is called the presynaptic neuron. On the other side of the synapse is the

The Northern Lights are the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere. Variations in colour are due to the type

Euler's Disk is an educational toy known for a seemingly paradoxical dramatic speed-up in spin rate as the disk loses energy and approaches a stopped condition. Euler's Disk Euler's Disc Spins for Minutes

The Tippe Top inverts itself when spinning at sufficient speed. It does this because its centre of mass does not coincide with the geometrical centre of sphere. Credits: Tom Strong Reviews When the Tippe

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a colorless, odorless, inorganic, non-flammable gas. SF6 is also an excellent electrical insulator. Sulfur hexafluoride is about six times heavier than the air we breathe.

Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. The refraction of light when it passes from a fast medium to a slow medium bends the light ray toward the normal
