The research, which is the first of its kind, has identified a specially engineered steel surface that allows liquids to boil without bubbling. "This would be advantageous for use in industrial situations such as nuclear power plants, where vapour explosions are best avoided, or where gentle heating is desirable" said Professor Derek Chan, from the Univers ... read more |
