Here's how it works: the space between the inner and outer flask wall is evacuated, creating a vacuum (well, a partial vacuum anyway...). In order for heat transfer to take place from the outside world into your cold drink, or from your hot drink to the outside world, it needs nearby molecules to excite. If there aren't many molecules nearby, as is the case in a vacuum, the heat's energy can't easily be passed along, so your drink stays close to the temperature it was when you put it into the flask for a really long time.
Simply stated, vacuums make great thermal insulation!

So fun for PhD student
Perfect gift for the PhD student in your life. Beautiful and multifunctional.
Great gift—well received
I was hesitant to give a water bottle as a gift as it seems everyone already has multiples, but this one is so unique and adding the tea infuser and straw tops makes it really versatile. It was a hit. I would definitely recommend it.

So cute! It came quicker than expected and arrived with cute bug tape. The actual gift was so well made and is a gift for a friend, so excited to give it to them!

Ornithology: Birds Tea Infuser
A big hit!
Got this mug as a gift for my daughter and she adores it! She loves the fact that her lab mates recognize what the design is right away but for someone who isn’t familiar with gel electrophoresis it’s still an interesting pattern. She liked the size and quality of the mug, too. She was especially appreciative of Cognitive Surplus’s sustainability and social impact policies and felt good about supporting your company.
Happy daughter
The mushroom journal and tote bag were gifts for my daughter. She loves them! Really good quality. Thanks!

Beer Chemistry Set
I bought this set of two beer glasses for my husband for Christmas. He found them quite amusing, and something we needed. They are good solid glass and won’t be easily knocked about by our very inquisitive cats. Service from your company was great (although USPS was not good about updating their tracking system, not your problem but theirs). I will certainly ship with you again.

Coffee Chemistry 10 oz Glass Mug
I love all of it, it arrived in perfect condition
These are higher quality than I expected. The purple is a little darker than I associate with highlighters and a little hard to read thru but other than that they’re great.

Got it for gifting. Almost had second thoughts and decided to give socks instead. Didn’t do so.
I got it as a gift for a retired college president, scientist, coffee-drinking friend of mine. She loves it!!XX
