<ul><li>A group of physicists conducted a study to determine the ingredients needed to create uniform and attractive salt rings when boiling water for pasta.</li><li>They found that releasing larger salt particles from a greater height leads to more uniform salt deposits at the bottom of the pan.</li><li>The experiment involved dropping salt particles of various sizes at different speeds into a tank of boiling water.</li><li>By understanding the physics behind salt ring formation, the researchers can now create nice salt rings consistently in the kitchen.</li></ul>
