Just one atomic layer thick, the 'miracle material' Graphene is a better conductor of electricity and heat than any material.
Graphite can be transformed into diamond by applying a temperature of 3000°C and pressure of 100,000 atm.
The coldest state of matter — Bose-Einstein Condensate superfluid — defies gravity and instead of flowing down, it flows upward.
The element Californium is often called the most expensive substance in the world (as much as $68 million for one gram.)
Each time lightning strikes, some Ozone gas is produced, thus strengthening the Ozone Layer in the Earth's atmosphere.
Mosquitoes like the scent of estrogen, hence, women get bitten by mosquitoes more often than men do.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe (75%).
The amount of carbon in the human body is enough to fill about 9,000 'lead' pencils.

The six states of matter are: Plasmas, Gases, Liquids, Solids, Bose-Einstein Condensates and Fermionic Condensates.
Chalk is made of trillions of microscopic skeleton fossils of plankton (a tiny sea creature.)
A bucket full of water contains more atoms than there are bucketfuls of water in the Atlantic Ocean.
A rubber tire is actually one single giant molecule.
Dynamite contains peanuts as an ingredient.
Talc is the softest known substance. 
Gallium is a metal which melts on palm of the hand, due to its low melting point (29.76 °C).
Twenty percent of Earth's oxygen is produced by the Amazon forest.
The noble gas Xenon lasers can cut through materials that are so tough even diamond tipped blades will not cut.
Gold and Copper are the only two non-white metals. 
The burning sensation we get from chilli peppers is because of a chemical called Capsaicin.
The lighter was invented before the match (in 1816 by J.W. Dobereiner).
Each time lightning strikes, some Ozone gas is produced, thus strengthening the Ozone Layer in the Earth's atmosphere. 
Honey does not spoil. 
There's enough gold in the Earth's crust to cover the entire land surface knee-deep. 
The metal with the highest melting point is tungsten, at 3410 degrees Celsius (6170F). Mosquitoes like the scent of estrogen, hence, women get bitten by mosquitoes more often than men do.
An ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire 80 km (50 mi) long.
Natural gas has no odour. The smell is added artificially so that leaks can be detected.
Air becomes liquid at about minus 190 degrees Celsius.
Water expands by about 10% as it freezes.
It is estimated that a plastic container can resist decomposition for as long as 50,000 years.
If you slowly pour a handful of salt into a totally full glass of water it will not overflow. In fact, the water level will go down.
Hydrogen gas is the least dense substance.
Liquid air looks like water with a bluish tint.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe (75%).

Hydrofluoric acid will dissolve glass.
A bee sting is acidic and a wasp sting is alkali. To treat a sting by one of these you should use the opposite type of chemical.
