So many natural processes take place right in front of us, but they're too small and too fast to see. Here, the Beauty of Science team puts some of those processes -- crystallizing solids, nucleating bubbles, and more -- front and center. The shapes and colors draw you in, inviting you to engage with science we see daily but rarely appreciate. (Video and image credit: Beauty of Science) Read the full article

perliculture is so advanced. i thought those fun-shaped “freshwater” coin pearls were fakes or cut to shape but they really get mussels to grow these

some look messier than others with thicker nacre but even the neat ones occasionally have nacre bumps.

The basis for this pattern of lignification is not well understood, but it is generally speculated that nucleation sites exist in the pectin-rich middle lamella where lignification starts and that physical characteristics of the wall matrix may influence radical-based monolignol polymerization and cross-linking to wall polysaccharides.

ohhh i was having christian-inflected-wedding dysphoria

Dancing Peanuts

Bartenders in Argentina sometimes entertain patrons by tossing a few peanuts into their beer. Initially, the peanuts sink, but after a few seconds they rise, wreathed in bubbles. (Image and research credit: L. Pereira et al.; via APS Physics) Read the full article

A binucleated red blood cell circulating in the peripheral blood of an approx. 2-year-old cat, with a working diagnosis of possible lymphoma based on pathology from several organ aspirates.

Nucleated red bloods are primarily seen in animals with a strong regenerative anemia. Finding this little guy hanging out with too much nucleus was a surprise!

okay so we're going to the club, but like not actually in there, you can go in if u want a drink or to piss but im gunna sit out back behind the burger place next door on a plastic basket and smoke weed and drink and act as a nucleation point for all the other overstimulated trannies on drugs and we will have fun by chatting and fucking off and maybe well get breakfast later when i start to sober up

The Science of Beer - Nucleation

When a beer is poured, carbonation rises to the top forming a layer of bubbles also known as the head, foam, Kräusen. These serve a specific purpose towards the enjoyment of your drink. They preview flavors and aromas to wet the pallet, activate salivary glands and prepare the senses for the imbibing experience.

This is Nucleation. This bubble party sitting atop your glass is the formation of the active compounds in the beer. Ever eaten a Ghost pepper & felt the heat? Or a cool feeling with peppermint? It's the same with nucleation.

Glassware nowadays can be customized with an etching on the bottom. The nucleated glasses have rough surfaces from the etching that causes bubbles to collect. When a sufficient number of bubbles has gathered, they release and drift towards the top of the glass forming a head. This can help sustain a fuller beer head and enhance flavors for a longer, more enjoyable drink.
