High-speed black and white photo of a jet of liquid vaporizing.

These images capture the moment pressurized jets of carbon dioxide hit normal atmospheric pressure and instantly change state to gas. Because liquid carbon dioxide cannot exist at pressures lower than 5.11 atm, solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) sublimes directly to vapor at normal atmosphere. (Images by Lena RUB.
