NASA | Boiling Experiments

Boiling is an efficient way of transferring heat energy out of a material. With this pathway, learn how liquids boil differently in a microgravity environment compared to on the Earth's surface and see how the science of boiling is used to develop new cooling technologies on the International Space Station.
