A glacier's flow depends on how microscopic defects move through the ice, according to new research that also yielded a new model for predicting how glaciers will flow, ultimately contributing to ...

Foams were once thought to behave like glass, with bubbles frozen in place at the microscopic level. But new simulations reveal that foam bubbles are always shifting, even while the foam keeps its ...

What occurs during the melting process in two-dimensional systems at the microscopic level? Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have explored this phenomenon in thin magnetic ...

By studying the microscopic structure of tissues, we can gain valuable insights into their function and pathology,” said lecturer Tiffany Hoage. “Furthermore, it complements the Cadaver Lab, as ...

Snapshots of the skyrmion lattice during the melting: an ordered skyrmion lattice on the left while the lattice structure has vanished on the right. What occurs during the melting process in ...

As they seep and calve into the sea, melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising global water levels at unprecedented rates. To predict and prepare for future sea-level rise, scientists need a better ...
