It's about to get that much easier to create a tempest in a teapot.
Conventional wisdom holds that a watched pot never boils and while
"never" might be an exaggeration, most of us can agree that it takes
longer than we'd like. However, researchers at the Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute have discovered that by coating the inside of a
pot with a microscopic layer of copper nanotubes—which under
appropriate magnification make the surface of the cooking vessel look
hairy—they can increase the efficiency of energy transfer from the pot
to the water it holds by an order of magnitude.
