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

Scientists had assumed that the ice in space was purely amorphous, but new experiments show it can have a partly crystalline ...

Phases of ice that exist naturally only on frozen moons could be detected using infrared spectroscopy, according to new ...

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

Visual representation of the structure of low-density amorphous ice. Many tiny crystallites (white) are concealed in the amorphous material (blue). “Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as ...

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 ...

FARGO — Frost and snow are made of ice but form as intricate crystals, whereas ice that forms on a lake or a puddle is more of a hard blob of water. Impurities aside, water is made of water and ice ...

In the dog days of summer, popping a tray of water into the freezer to make ice cubes may seem mundane. But at the smallest scales, we still don’t know a lot about how freezing unfolds. Now, the first ...
