Whining, please ignore.

I just typed a long entry about something I thought was really cool, and then lost it by an extra Command-W. Now I'll have to retype the whole thing.

(Alright, the whining is over. Nothing to see here, move along, move along....)

Boiling Water in Zero-G

One of my teachers this semester is working on a long-term project which, among other things, studies the way water boils in zero gravity.

( The technical details )

I like this research a lot. I guess it's partially because zero-g is always cool, thanks to science fiction, but it's also because I like stories about the mechanics of phenomena, and this one's a good story.
