An international research team, led by the Complutense University of Madrid, has used computer simulations to study the movement of a solid sliding over ice…
Polar sea ice formation is influenced by more than just the cold temperatures in the winter months. According to recent research from the University of…
The ice levels were measured at almost 30% less than the average over the previous ten years. The Antarctic sea ice extent was the lowest…
Findings could have implications for our understanding of distant, water-rich planets. Researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas have discovered a new form of…
A team of mathematicians and physicists has discovered how ice formations are shaped by external forces, such as water temperature. Its newly published research may…
Like a work of art enshrined in a museum, some stones end up on a pedestal of ice in nature, with no human intervention. This…
Associate Professor Jonathan Boreyko and graduate fellow Mojtaba Edalatpour have made a discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to…
Using the Advanced Photon Source, scientists have recreated the structure of ice formed at the center of planets like Neptune and Uranus. Everyone knows about…
One method that scientists use to monitor climate change is the measurement of sea ice extent. Arctic sea ice extent, quite simply, is the area…
Probing the structures and properties of superionic ice. A layer of “hot,” electrically conductive ice could be responsible for generating the magnetic fields of ice…
The search for life beyond Earth typically focuses on first looking for water, the basis for life as we know it. Whether the water is…
Ice is a very versatile material. In snowflakes or ice cubes, the oxygen atoms are arranged hexagonally. This ice form is called ice one (ice…
The theoretical model proposed by Brazilian researchers can be applied to any system in which two energy scales coexist. Water can remain liquid at temperatures…
Why is ice so slippery? The answer lies in a film of water that is generated by friction, one that is far thinner than expected…
How small is the smallest possible particle of ice? It’s not a snowflake, measuring at a whopping fraction of an inch. According to new research…
Airplane wings, wind turbines, and indoor heating systems all struggle under the weight and chill of ice. Defrosting and de-icing techniques are energy-intensive, however, and…
A group of researchers has devised a method of sliding ice and frost off surfaces by melting the interfacial layer directly. In the future, a…
