The Chicago Bulls' game against the Miami Heat at the United Center was postponed due to court condensation caused by moisture, leading to a nearly two-hour delay and no immediate rescheduling announced.
A European experiment on the ISS studies how condensation behaves in microgravity using fin-shaped metal surfaces to improve understanding of heat transfer, with potential applications in space technology and Earth-based cooling systems.
Scientists have analyzed fallout debris from the 1945 atomic bomb blast in Hiroshima and discovered glassy spheres formed by condensation within the nuclear fireball. The chemical and isotopic composition of these "Hiroshima glasses" bears similarities to primitive meteorites, suggesting they may provide insights into the early Solar System's formation. The study's simulations revealed how different types of glass condensed from the blast's extreme heat, offering a potential window into the chemical reactions during condensation in the early Solar System.
Purdue University has sent an experiment to the International Space Station to study how reduced gravity affects condensation, with the aim of enabling heat and air conditioning systems for long-term space habitats. The experiment, called the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment (FBCE), will investigate the behavior of condensation in a reduced-gravity environment. The research could have implications for future space exploration, including living on the moon or Mars, as well as improving spacecraft capabilities for longer journeys and refueling in orbit.
