Field Notes
One surprising idea at a time.
Short, accessible explorations of the science hiding inside everyday glasses, bottles, bubbles, and ice cubes.
From Champagne glass geometry to Dalton’s Law, each Field Note begins with a simple question and follows the physics wherever it leads.

Research Notes
A closer look at the physics.
Research Notes extend the ideas introduced in Field Notes through calculations, models, experiments, and more detailed technical discussion.
They are written for curious readers who would like to see not only what happens, but why.

Experiment
Molecular Simulators
Watch the physics happen.
Our interactive simulators make invisible molecular behavior visible.
Explore diffusion, partial pressure, equilibrium, Henry’s Law, gas solubility, and other physical principles by changing the conditions and watching individual molecules respond.

Calculators
Put the physics to work.
Our calculators apply the same scientific principles to practical questions involving pressure, carbonation, opened bottles, ice, dilution, and cocktails.
Change the conditions, test an assumption, and see what the numbers say.
