Imagine working at a steel mill. You somehow landed a job. It's your first day, and you are assigned to the forge. Alright, ...

In this fascinating experiment, I explore the dramatic interaction between molten aluminum and wood. By carefully pouring extremely hot, liquefied aluminum into different types of wooden blocks, I ...

Take the burning hot that is molten aluminum and mix it with the very cold that is liquid nitrogen and dry ice and you get an awesome as hell experiment that breaks science. Or something like that.

Molten aluminum does crazy things to fruit and liquids and ant hills but against a steak? It doesn’t do much. As in, the steak basically defeats molten metal. Sure, the piece of meat burns up and ...

We’re replacing “holy moley” in our vocabulary. Levitating globs of molten aluminum are that much more amazing. It’s not that we couldn’t believe it would work — we understand the physics after the ...

A retired entomologist has developed a technique for studying the nesting habits of different ant species -- pour molten aluminium into their homes, wait for it to set and out comes a detailed and ...
