Physicists have finally filmed a crystal as it melts and discovered that, under the right conditions, it refuses to behave ...

Dartmouth oceanographer Yoshihiro Nakayama created a high-resolution model to study the melting of two glaciers in western ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It’s likely that you’ve heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...

When you step onto an icy sidewalk or push off on skis, the surface can seem to vanish beneath you. For more than a century, ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

For nearly two centuries, textbooks blamed icy spills on pressure and friction, but new simulations tell another story. The ...

The geoengineering experiment sought to use tiny silica beads to reflect sunlight away from Earth. A geoengineering project that was testing a novel way of cooling the planet has come to an end amid ...

Snow accumulation during winter no longer compensates for summer losses. This annual balance has been negative for decades, ...

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

You may feel that we all have enough to worry about, and thus have no need for the spectre of zombie-like reanimated bacteria or viruses in thawing permafrost that set off a story straight out of a ...
