When scientists squeezed a drop of water between two diamonds to endure pressures tens of thousands of times higher than Earth’s atmosphere, something unexpected happened. The liquid solidified at ...

Researchers explain a new mechanism for ice formation. Ice can form near the free surface of a water droplet via small precursors with a structure resembling ice 0. These are readily formed by ...

We usually think of ice as just frozen water. It is simple, solid, and cold. But water is a master of disguise. With just two atoms, hydrogen and oxygen, it can freeze into more than 20 different ...

An autonomous submarine exploring the remote waters beneath the Dotson Ice Shelf in Antarctica has discovered strange and ...

The ice in your drinks – and pretty much everywhere else on the surface of Earth – is technically referred to as ice I, but the scientific census actually goes all the way up to ice XIX. These strange ...

The surface of ice is a slippery subject. For more than 160 years, scientists have been debating the quirks of ice’s exterior. Frozen water is coated in a layer of molecules that behave like a liquid.

Ice is a key component in the universe. There are frozen water molecules on comets, moons, exoplanets, and in your drink as you cool off from the summer heat. However, under the microscope, not all ...

Phases of ice that exist naturally only on frozen moons could be detected using infrared spectroscopy, according to new laboratory experiments. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

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