The reason we can gracefully glide on an ice-skating rink or clumsily slip on an icy sidewalk is that the surface of ice is ...

Through a novel combination of machine learning and atomic force microscopy, researchers in China have unveiled the molecular ...

This experiment uses a warm liquid on ice to explore how heat actually moves and dissipates. Instead of melting evenly, the ice reacts in unexpected patterns that reveal strange thermal behavior. It’s ...

Melting ice in the Arctic is causing an increasing amount of freshwater to enter the North Atlantic, which is expected to result in a weakening of the Atlantic overturning circulation. However, many ...

This achievement led to the identification of a previously unknown crystallization pathway in water and resulted in the ...

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing ...

Physicists in Europe have quietly turned a classic holiday symbol into a cutting-edge experiment, 3D-printing a tiny ...

The recipe is simple: a scoop of ice cream in a sundae cup or bowl big enough to fit a few ounces of wine. Consider chilling ...

“Our achievement may herald a new form of matter combining characteristics of solids and liquids in the same material,” ...

Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don't move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron ...

Tis the season ... for gingerbread cookies! If you're a little bored of the same old cookies and frosting, try adding some ...

Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the ...
