As surface air temperatures rise above 0°C, snow and ice cover melts, resulting in the appearance of snow/ice-free barren and vegetated areas. These newly exposed surfaces release increased amounts of ...

An impurity effect on ice crystal growth in supercooled water is an important subject in relation to ice crystal formation in various conditions in the Earth’s cryosphere regions. In this review, we ...

Small amounts of nanometer-thin metal-organic layers efficiently protect red blood cells during freezing and thawing, as a team of researchers writing in the journal Angewandte Chemie has discovered.

Rare rime ice and ground-level ice crystals form across Boise as deep temperature inversion creates perfect conditions for dual winter phenomena.

Analysis of in-flight emissions from an Airbus A350-900 using 100% sustainable aviation fuel indicates a reduction of 35% in soot particle numbers, and a halving of contrail ice-crystal formation per ...

Almost everyone has a bag of veggies shoved into the dark recesses of their freezer that's now essentially an unrecognizable block of ice crystals. And when thawed, foods damaged by excessive ice lose ...

While it may be the reason behind tires skidding, pipes bursting, and closed roads making traffic a nightmare, ice doesn’t always form as easily as it seems. It often gets an assist from proteins made ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have announced a discovery. Despite forming in a perfectly hexagonal lattice, ice exhibits surprising flexibility and ...

The science behind no-churn ice cream and the one pantry ingredient that makes it work. No-churn ice cream is easy, but only if you use the right ingredients—namely, sweetened condensed milk. In this ...
