Molten aluminum is approximately 1200 degrees Fahrenheit while liquid nitrogen is negative 320 degrees. The backyard scientist tests it for you amid clouds of vapor in this Youtube video see the video at The Blaze
The ice-free cryopreservation process of vitrification is under examination in mathematical models. This might allow for longer preservation of tissues and organs; Adam Higgins at Oregon State University and colleagues have shown it's possible to minimise toxicity by using mathematical models to predict the optimum parameters for the procedure. read more via Chemistry World
A woman from China’s facial skin has been damaged after a veterinary hospital tried to remove freckles from her face. Most freckles are removed with laser surgery, but this clinic used liquid nitrogen used to freeze cattle sperm in the bungled cosmetic operation. read more via SCMP
The Antipode concept jet could, theoretically, fly from New York to London in eleven minutes. To do this, it would have to break the sound barrier at Mach 10 speed. Could liquid oxygen be the answer to overheating? read more via Science Alert
The US Air Force on Monday certified the latest version of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, featuring a super-chilled propellant mixture. At minus 340 degrees Fahrenheit, on-board densified liquid oxygen is colder than the typical minus 248 degrees launch-grade oxygen. The cooler temperatures will let the Falcon 9 to haul 30% more mass into orbit, says SpaceX. read more via Spaceflight Now
Do they know what that they took 3,500 units of "top-shelf" bull semen? It seems unlikely to law enforcement. Unwitting thieves risk frost bite and cryogenic burns from the super-cooled liquid nitrogen in the storage tanks. read more via SFGate
Combining scientific principals and culinary arts, Chef Isadora Chai makes espresso sorbet in swirl of white vapor. “It's about adapting very precise measurements, temperature and pH levels,‚” she says of her pomegranate caviar. read more via Malaysian Insider
