The United States is a supersaturated solution of guns in the populace and every billowing rage is a nucleation site.

The United States is a supersaturated solution of guns in the populace and every billowing rage is a nucleation site.
In chemistry, a supersaturated solution is one where you've kept adding a solute to a liquid beyond where the liquid can dissolve everything. All it takes is a nucleation site / seed crystal for the solution to rapidly (sometimes violently) crystalize.
Unrelatedly, the US has more guns than people.

DONT POUR THE CREAM INTO THE SODA TOO FAST IT CREATES TOO MANY NUCLEATION SITES NOOOO

Wow. Now there is an idea I didn't see coming.
The tiny particles that wear off tyres can apparently act as ice nucleation sites. Cloud droplets need a starting nucleation site & this new paper suggests global tire pollution might matter for clouds.

Die Anomalie von Gallium kommt daher, dass in einem Gallium-Kristall immer zwei benachbarte Gallium-Atome sehr eng aneinander, aber nicht besonders eng an andere Gallium-Atome gebunden sind. Dadurch hat der Kristall wenig Stabilitätsvorteil gegenüber dem flüssigen Zustand und schmilzt leicht.
Ab initio phase diagram and nucleation of gallium - Nature Communications
Exploring nucleation processes of gallium by molecular simulation is extremely challenging due to its structural complexity. Here the authors demonstrate a neural network potential trained on a multit...

My dad put salt in beer. It gives nucleation sites for bubbles to form, so it foams quickly and then goes flat, so you can drink it fast without gas making you burp or feel full.

I once microwaved a mug of water and then added instant coffee powder. Turned into an instant science lesson on superheating and nucleation.

Most places here in the US have hard water, which has plenty of nucleation sites

A hand warmer generally contains a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate which releases heat upon crystallization when a nucleation center is formed by pressing on the metal disc.

For bubbles champagne needs nucleation points overcome surface tension. These were glass faults however the better the glass the less imperfections! So makers etch them in - up to 20 points creating a ring at the base which produces columns of rising bubbles. #champagne #method #cider
