While studying the bizarre effect, physicists at the University of Bath realized that not only does the water float, but under the right conditions and temperatures it can actually climb upward. The playful experiments lead to the creation of an incredible superheated maze.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_dQJBBklpQQ\">YouTube 1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QTC3bKea2Yo\">2<\/a>, &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zzKgnNGqxMw\">3<\/a> ] [<a href=\"http:\/\/kottke.org\/14\/03\/the-magical-chain-fountain\">Via<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not Fountains of Wayne, but fountains of chain: Check out the beautiful kinetic sculpture that comes from ordinary household materials: The NYT breaks down what&#8217;s going on: And if that floats your boat (yanks your chain?), check out When Water Flows Uphill: Colossal explains, The folks over at Science Friday made this fascinating video about [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":360,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300\/revisions\/360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
