“Moment of Creation”

Bubbles caught in ice resemble the growth of a cellular organism in this photograph of Tatiewa Lake in Japan, taken by Soichiro Moriyama. When water freezes, gases dissolved in it come out of solution, but depending on the speed and direction of freezing, these bubbles do not always escape before ice forms around them, freezing pockets of gas within the ice’s structure.

62% done with #Dissolution and it has been a heck of a trip. I definitely I think I will start Binge's #Ascension as soon as I am done here.

Lecornu ne "sera pas le Premier ministre qui fera une passation avec Bardella", a-t-il averti les sénateurs avant l'examen du budget, lors d'une réunion des présidents de groupes et de commissions. Le chef du gouvernement a rappelé qu’une censure vaudrait dissolution, selon l'AFP. Un parlementaire averti en vaut deux...

Growing Salty

Ngangla Ringco sits atop the Tibetan Plateau, breaking up the barren landscape with eye-catching teal and blue. This saline lake sits at an altitude of 4,700 meters, fed by rainfall, Himalayan runoff, and melting glaciers and permafrost. The lake, like many inland bodies of salt water, has no outflow. Instead, water evaporates from the lake, leaving behind any salts that were dissolved in it. Over time, those left-behind salts build up and make the lake ever saltier.

Larcher estime que Macron devra se poser la question de sa démission si une nouvelle dissolution ne donne pas de majorité claire au président: "Et s’il refuse de gouverner, qu’est-ce qui se passe ? Le chef de l'Etat pourrait se trouver en première ligne", susurre le président du Sénat sur RTL. Sans oublier qu'en cas de démission présidentielle, c'est Gégé, 2e personnage de l'Etat, qui assurerait l'interim...

Dissolution and Crystallization

A colorful assortment of salts dissolve and recrystallize in this microscopic timelapse video by retired engineer Jay McClellan. Every step is a gorgeous rainbow of color as the cobalt, copper, and sodium chlorides dissolve, mix, and change. Though we don’t see what’s going on in the water, fluid dynamics are a critical component of both dissolution and crystallization. In the former, concentration gradients change the water’s density, driving buoyant flows. For the latter, crystallization comes out of evaporation, where surface tension often determines where solid particles get left behind. (Video and image credit: J. McClellan; via Colossal)
