Ice is a complex substance with at least 20 known forms and possibly thousands more. Found in various environments, from icy moons to Earth’s crust,…
Greenland’s ice is abundant with life, both above and below its surface. Until recently, science was unaware of the existence of certain microscopic organisms living…
A key aspect of the study was the deployment of density functional theory (DFT), a method derived from quantum mechanics and used in solid-state physics…
The long-term trend for sea ice in the south is still flat, while the global trend points downward. In February 2023, sea ice around Antarctica…
The preservation of water ice at shallow depths and low latitudes on Mars would have significant implications for both scientific research and human exploration. Scientists…
The red streaks crisscrossing the surface of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, are striking. Scientists suspect it is a frozen mixture of water and salts,…
This winter, ice cover in the Great Lakes Basin has hovered at unusually low levels. The Great Lakes have been unusually ice-free so far this…
A collaboration between scientists at Cambridge and University College London has led to the discovery of a new form of ice that more closely resembles…
Researchers at University College London and the University of Cambridge have discovered a new type of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any…
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…
