For more than 200 years, scientists have argued about a deceptively simple question: why does a sheet of frozen water let us ...

For more than a century, scientists have debated why ice stays slippery, even well below freezing. The most common ...

Ice, whether in the form of a snowflake or in ice cubes, is basically a form of solid crystalline water. But scientists have previously found that the vast majority of the ice that we know is simply ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Abdus Salam International ...

Owing to the many different ways atoms can be arranged within the material, ice can exist in many more forms than what’s known as ice I, the type we’re all familiar with. Scientists have actually ...

The study of ice loads and ice-structure interaction is central to ensuring the integrity and safety of offshore installations operating in polar and sub-polar regions. The engineering challenges stem ...

Scientists have discovered a novel one dimensional ice chain structure built from pentagons that may prove to be a step toward the development of new materials which can be used to seed clouds and ...

I’m striding along the steep bank of a raging white-water torrent, and even though the canyon is only about the width of a highway, the river’s flow is greater than that of London’s Thames. The ...

A 25,000-year-old Ice Age structure made from the bones of 60 wooly mammoths has been unearthed in Russia. A team of scientists have been working to excavate the 40-foot-wide circular arrangement of ...

A crucial number that rules the universe goes big in a strange quantum material. The fine-structure constant is about 10 times its normal value in a type of material called quantum spin ice, ...

Over the years, the NHL has seen its share of obstacles playing outdoors. During the pandemic season’s game at Lake Tahoe, a ...
