Decades-old mystery solved as scientists identify what really makes ice slippery
When you step onto an icy sidewalk or push off on skis, the surface can seem to vanish beneath you. For more than a century, ...
Hidden beneath the pristine white surface of Antarctica and Greenland lies an invisible crisis. While most people imagine ice melts from the top down when warmed by sun and air, the reality is far ...
Rising temperatures of the world’s oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

Why ice is slippery may finally be solved after decades of debate
For more than 200 years, scientists have argued about a deceptively simple question: why does a sheet of frozen water let us ...
Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...
When we think of global warming, what first comes to mind is the air: crushing heat waves that are felt rather than seen, ...
Antarctica is melting, and crucial details are beginning to come into focus of exactly how it's happening. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...
Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...
A team of researchers led by SETI Institute Senior Research Scientist Janice Bishop, a member of the SETI Institute NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) team, has come up with a theory about what is ...
AMES, Iowa – Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has just been published by the journal Science. First, said the ...
This polarized light image shows ice grains deformed in experiments with the ring-shear device in Neal Iverson's Iowa State laboratory. The experiments show that grains, on average, grow about 3 times ...
