Scientists have identified traces of radioactive stardust preserved in Antarctic ice, directly linking Earth to debris ...

Tiny particles bubbling up from the tops of melting sea ice into the Arctic sky may be a key, understudied element of cloud formation in that climate-sensitive region. Ice-nucleating particles can ...

Scientists working at the South Pole have completed a major hardware expansion of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, installing new sensor strings deep in Antarctic ice during the 2025-2026 austral ...

In November, scientists arrived at the South Pole in planes outfitted with skis to pull off a construction project seven years in the making. They had a short summer window – November to early ...
