I have read about hydrogen bonds and that these strong chemical 
interactions yield a high specific heat capacity to water. I am curious as 
to which other elements and factors contribute to materials' specific heat 
capacities.  Particularly, how can this be applied to practical 
engineering of devices used in astronomy and space exploration?
