Thanks to an underwater survey robot, oceanographers are getting the first-ever readings collected from underneath East ...

Odd radio waves emanating from the ice don’t fit our model of particle behavior. Could they be a sign of dark matter?

Glaciers are flush with microbial life. But, as climate change speeds glacial melting, scientists rush to establish microbial ...

The Tulsa science museum’s seasonal attraction features hands-on experiments, holiday activities and winter-themed science ...

This video documents the extreme experiment of placing an ice boat onto the world’s hottest lake to see how long it can ...

Irish planetary scientists have christened a spider-like feature on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa as “Damhán Alla”, which ...

In this experiment, adding salt to ice triggers a chain reaction that reveals some fascinating science. The salt disrupts the ...

Scientists collect core samples from the polar ice sheets to learn about our planet’s climatic past. This core, extracted in Greenland in 2019, contains the Vedde ash layer, likely remnants of an ...

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet covers some 760,000 square miles and is up to 1.2 miles thick. If it were to ever melt away entirely, it would add 10 feet to global sea levels. Even considering how ...

It’s an oft-cited science “fact” that ice is slippery due to pressure or friction, but this explanation doesn’t explain why ice’s slippery behavior remains at temperatures where such melting isn’t ...

Researchers at KRISS observed water’s rapid freeze–melt cycles under ultrahigh pressure and discovered Ice XXI, the first new ice phase found in decades. Using advanced high-pressure tech and ...

The soft, chewable texture of nugget ice—sometimes called pellet, pebble, or Sonic ice—has developed a devoted following among ice enthusiasts. Unlike traditional ice cubes, nugget ice offers a unique ...
