"Science of Everyday Things" is the study of the hidden physics, chemistry, and biology that make our daily routines possible. It turns a mundane morning into a series of complex scientific marvels. 1. The Chemistry of Your Morning Coffee
That foam on top is a CO2 emulsion, a byproduct of the roasting process trapped inside the bean. 2. The Physics of the Microwave SCIENCE OF EVERYDAY THINGS
The screen is covered with a transparent conductive layer (usually Indium Tin Oxide). "Science of Everyday Things" is the study of
Friction between your shoe and the floor prevents your foot from sliding. On ice, the friction coefficient drops drastically, which is why your "equal and opposite reaction" results in a fall rather than a step. The Chemistry of Your Morning Coffee That foam
The oven produces electromagnetic waves that specifically target polar molecules (mostly water).
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released by heat, hitting your olfactory receptors before you even take a sip.
