the diva phase change that skips liquid entirely and goes straight to gas
means The process by which a solid turns directly into a gas without passing through the liquid state (and, in psychology, the channeling of unacceptable impulses into socially acceptable activity).
from From Latin 'sublimare,' to lift up or raise high, from 'sublimis' meaning lofty or exalted — the same root behind 'sublime.' Medieval alchemists borrowed the word for the moment a solid rose as vapor in their flasks, as if elevating matter toward the heavens; Freud later lifted the term again, this time to describe raising raw urges into refined pursuits.
- dry ice
- Solid CO2 vanishes to vapor, never puddles
- freezer burn
- Ice sublimates off food, leaving leathery patches
- Freud's version
- Channeling raw urges into art or work
- comet tails
- Sun sublimates their ice into glowing streaks
- vacuum trick
- Low pressure makes solids skip melting too
dry ice — frozen co2 that transforms directly to gas at -78.5°c without melting
mothballs — naphthalene pellets that evaporate into air at room temperature to repel insects
frost — ice crystals on surfaces that vanish directly into vapor without melting, common in high mountains and polar regions
