Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena

Here are 15 animations in science experiments that contain interesting things inside. Enjoy the interesting animations and explanations below.

Green magic clay

Have you ever played with "Thinking Putty" thinking clay ? It is a special plastic that can be poured as a liquid or combined into a solid mass.

Picture 1 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
You can round or stretch them arbitrarily.

You can also spin or stretch them arbitrarily. The magic clay is similar to the "Thinking Putty" thinking clay, but in its composition there is iron oxide powder added.

And iron oxides in the soil make them work in a magnet like a real living creature.

When playing with this clay and a magnet, you will feel like playing with a soul and thinking.

The first one can run in a 360 degree circle

Picture 2 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
To be able to run in such a circle without falling down, you must achieve the right speed.

Damian Walter was the first person who could run in a 360 degree circle. To be able to run in such a circle without falling down, you must achieve the right speed.

At that time, centrifugal force helps you to keep your balance in the loop , and pay attention to keep the straight shoulder fixed to the center of the lap.

Damian could finish the loop in the circle if he could keep the highest running speed of 13.7km / h.

Quantum cushion

The experiment was carried out on a magnet table and a sponge ice ball was coated in half a micrometer of a half micrometer superconductor.

Picture 3 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
Superconductors conduct electrical current with zero resistance when lowering the temperature to the lowest level.

In this animation, because the superconducting layers around the ice ball are very thin, some magnetic fields are "stuck" inside it.

Superconductors cannot move from the field without breaking the superconducting state, so the magnetic fields are trapped there, causing the ball to float in the air.

And because the runway is a circle with the same magnetic field running through, causing the ball to fly around without ever breaking out.

Orbit of Earth and Venus

Picture 4 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
Venus's orbital cycle revolves around the Sun for 224.7 days on Earth.

At first it was just a random number, but when arranged in the right time, the scientists found that the ratio between the orbital cycle of Earth and Venus was close to 8:13.

When we track two orbits at the time and draw a line between them, we see that they create a symmetrical pattern of 5 rolls.

If we draw each point when the two planets align with the Sun and imagine, we will almost see a perfect 5-pointed star.

Slow effect on falling springs

When a spring is stretched, the tension will pull it back in the direction of the damaged state. The spring's extension is mostly symmetrical, so it pulls both ends towards the center.

Picture 5 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
The spring's extension is mostly symmetrical, so it pulls both ends towards the center.

When falling vertically, the bottom end falls, but the tension works in the opposite direction, so the lower end of the spring remains in place.

Meanwhile, the upper end is falling with G acceleration (9.81m / s 2 ) and the spring tension.

It waits until the rest of the spring hits the bottom, eliminating the tension that no longer applies gravity, that the spring finally falls to the ground.

Broken cotton balls

Some plants have found a special "reproduction" , including Impatiens capensis , or "Don't touch me".

Picture 6 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
Nail cotton balls, also called fruits, do not touch me.

When the seeds are mature enough to begin to produce a new generation, the pods will initiate a movement and explosion reaction, dispersing the particles into the environment.

For a while, the cells of the seed shell will store and accumulate mechanical energy based on their hydration level.

At that time, just any small external impact could overload the system, and the "walls" separated quickly into the body, transferring the energy to the seeds and launching them out.

This study from the Journal of Experimental Biology discovered this mechanism of their activity.

Pine pine

When the sky is dry, dry outside, pine nuts will expand to disperse seeds into the ground.

Picture 7 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
Pine nuts are the most common example of a moisture meter.

When it is wet, it means it is not a favorable condition, so they spread their wings to protect the seed.

Pine nuts are the most common example of a moisture meter, which changes shape when moisture changes. The cells inside the pine nuts die, and the activation reactions are completely automated.

When it is dry, a small portion of the outer layers near the tendon shrinks, pulling the entire shell back and opening it. When it is wet, the moisture makes the layers open to close the fruit.

Water transfer printing

This is a fast and effective method of "wearing new clothes" for something.

Water transfer printing , also known as hydrographics, is a fast and effective method of "wearing new clothes" for something.

First, the film has decorative patterns placed on the surface of a water tank. After a short time, this film will be dissolved in water, the paint will float on the surface.

Carefully dip the ornament into the tank and accurately move the details of the film.

Then, it is necessary to dry the ornament, make sure the "suit" is clear, like any other printing process.

Activities of ants

Picture 9 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
Ants are a social herd.

Ants are a social herd. Research has shown that depending on the situation, ants will act as a liquid or solid at the same time.

By interconnecting, they can create a single solid mass that resists elasticity in nature.

When they need to be more flexible with their surroundings, they act as a liquid and easily overcome obstacles.

Divers go back under the ice

Picture 10 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
Divers can go back under the ice as long as there is enough air in the tank.

When the air bubble "falls" , you will find divers diving backward from the frozen side of the lake.

This becomes possible when they inflate their air-containing device, so that it can float. A little bit of micro-level adjustment, and they can fake counter-forces.

Divers can do it as long as there is enough air in the tank, because the surrounding water pressure is supporting their entire body from all sides.

Rubber band explodes watermelon fruit

Picture 11 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
The experiment caused watermelons to explode into pieces.

Watermelon rind is usually quite thick and hard. Slowly roll the rubber band around the watermelon to increase the pressure outside, squeezing the water inside the watermelon to the sides, increasing the pressure on other areas.

With about 500 rubber bands, the pressure difference outside and inside makes the "outer wall" explode.

And if there is no watermelon meat inside, then the shell will be more likely to be broken. After the shell has exploded, the inner part is easily defeated.

Moon phase

The moon rotates a circle around the Earth which takes about 29.53 days. During this time it goes through many phases.

Picture 12 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
From the Earth you can see different parts of the Moon.

Every day, the Earth can see different parts of the Moon. On the day of the New Moon, the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun.

The Sun is the only major source of light in the Solar System, the Moon is in the dark.

At the end of this cycle, the "Full Moon" phase, the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth, illuminated by the Sun, and thus we see the entire Moon and always on the opposite side of us.

Broken glass at 10 million frames per second

Glass is a special material. It is extremely durable. To break a cube of 1cm 3 , you need to have an object that weighs 10 tons.

Picture 13 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
Glass is a special and very durable material.

Regardless, the average durability of glass is very low, which makes it "weak" when struck by a quick blow and unexpected focus.

Scientists have not yet discovered exactly how glass dissipates at the atomic level, but at least we can enjoy beautiful shapes while waiting for them to discover.

Non-Newtonian liquid

Unlike conventional liquids, non-Newtonian fluids change their activity based on your interaction with them.

For example, when a non-Newtonian liquid is introduced into a high stress environment, like a quick blow, it increases the viscosity and thickening to act as a solid.

Picture 14 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
Non-Newtonian fluids change their activity based on your interaction with them.

This is because the particles inside the liquid are non-Newton larger than the liquid often.

When exposed to a rapidly deforming action, they simply do not have time to move around and reshape the form, so they "resist".

Upon gradual access, the non-Newtonian fluids will work expected. Quicksand is also a natural example of this phenomenon.

Spider prey

Most spiders spend their time knitting great networks to trap unfortunate "travelers" .

Instead of passive methods, spider gladiators reversed this process and led a rather active hunting life.

Picture 15 of Animated set of super interesting scientific phenomena
When ready, the spider gladiators wait until the perfect time to attack the prey .

It carefully woven a square, elastic mesh, and although it was not too sticky, it was enough to trap the beard, hair and hair.

When ready, the spider gladiators wait until the perfect time. Its eyes are very fine and it can detect prey in near darkness. After close enough, spiders will snatch while extending nets and trapping insects.
