Ready to be mesmerized? Check out this beautifully-shot video of cubes of Jell-O bouncing at 6,200 frames per second.
Feel the jiggle after the jump!
Filmed by the kitchen team who worked on the six-volume book Modernist Cuisine, the video is one of a handful the team has released to show food science in action. They are all pretty incredible, but the video of a single kernel of popcorn popping — jumping out of the oil like a bird taking flight — has to be our favorite.
Check out more videos from Modernist Cuisine:
• Popcorn Popping @ 6,200 FPS
• The Leidenfrost Effect
• Coffee and Cream
The team is taking suggestions for high-speed actions in the kitchen that can be filmed and slowed down to human eye speed. Are there any blink-of-an-eye cooking moments you would like to see in slow motion?

Love the coffee & cream. I occasionally wonder if I add cream to my coffee just to be able to watch it. It is all part of the decadence of cream in coffee (I'm in law school, that is the height of my decadence right now!).
wow this is stunning
