A rubber tire is actually one single giant molecule.

Dynamite contains peanuts as an ingredient.

Gallium is a metal which melts on palm of the hand, due to its low melting point (29.76 °C).

The noble gas Xenon lasers can cut through materials that are so tough even diamond tipped blades will not cut.

The five states of matter are: Plasmas, Gases, Liquids, Solids and Bose-Einstein Condensates.

Hot water freezes faster than cold water (the Mpemba effect.)

The coldest state of matter — Bose-Einstein Condensate superfluid — defies gravity and instead of flowing down, it flows upward.

Each time lightning strikes, some Ozone gas is produced, thus strengthening the Ozone Layer in the Earth's atmosphere. (petir bukan je fungsi nak panah setan.)

The element Californium is often called the most expensive substance in the world (as much as $68 million for one gram.)

The human body contains enough carbon to provide 'lead' (which is really graphite) for about 9,000 pencils.
