Tips from 1870

Usage: Ability, Capacity. A fond mother was told by the principal of a boarding-school that her daughter would not be graduated, as she lacked capacity. "Get her a capacity. Her father don't stand on the matter of expense. Get her anything she wants. He'll foot the bill." But for once the indulgent mother was obliged to learn that there are some things money will not purchase. The father had the financial ability, but the daughter lacked the necessary intellectual capacity. But we may have literary as well as financial ability. Ability implies the power of doing; capacity the faculty of receiving. Source: Slips of Speech.

Using a differential scanning calorimeter, plant physiologist Christina Walters can detect phase-state changes of water and lipids in seeds. First she cools thin slices of seed tissues sealed in tiny aluminum pans (held in tweezers) to -170°C. The relationship she finds between a seed's water content, temperature at which its heat capacity changes, and size of the change give clues about the nature of glasses that form.
