For a faster, more bubbly boil, try adding a layer of copper nanorods to the inside of your kettle. Researchers led by Nikhil Koratkar at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, have discovered that lining a copper pot with copper nanorods makes water boil much more quickly. The discovery is described in the journal Small1. Water can only boil at the point at which it meets air. This interface allows a phase transition to take place. (source: news.rpi.edu)
