Supercool in every sense

Supercooling imageWhat’s cooler than cool? Supercool, of course! Most people think to play with supercooled objects you need liquid nitrogen or some expensive lab equipment: not true! The video below shows the results of leaving bottled water outide on a cold night. The water is so pure (and the plastic so smooth) that they lack the tiny imperfections ice crystals need to grow. The result is a bottle of water that is below 0 degrees C, but still liquid. The fun part is this: as soon as the liquid is disturbed, it will freeze instantaneously, just like in that one movie Demolition Man.

See the Video
