Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park traps gas bubbles in clear ice. The gas is possibly methane from decomposing matter in the lake.

Whipping egg whites denatures the ovalbumin protein, resulting in strong lipid layers wrapped around air bubbles, allowing sculpture that looks like… a puppy.

The first images shows how india ink in skim milk beads up. In the second, half and half was used, and the surface tension was lower, allowing shapes to be drawn. In the third, the surface tension of heavy cream was higher than the ink, and it was pulled apart.

Milk poured into tea hits the bottom of the cup and is deflected into a sloshing motion, visible just below the surface of the tea.
