- When cream hits coffee, the physics are magical

- Description
- Something peculiar happens when you add cream to coffee: for a split second, it floats.
Scientists just figured out exactly how it works by studying the drop of cream in slow motion, and it could have wide-reaching impacts on ecological research and new technology.
Watch the video as see how the milk drop heats up as the coffee surface cool. This causes a temporary levitation — and a very satisfying video.
