I can see your point, John, but I think the problem here is that scientifically literate people automatically acknowledge that liquid nitrogen is either under pressure or at very low temperature or both. That doesn’t make the Metro correct.

At standard temperature and pressure liquid nitrogen IS a gas - that must have been what our favourite Metro journo meant!

(Sorry, that previous post came off looking a bit more confrontational than it was meant. Insert a mental “;-)” after the first sentence!)

What do you expect with the Metro, eh? They are prone to playing fast and loose with all sort of stories and sticking to the facts is about all we can trust they won’t do.
