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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have designed an alternative, autonomous observational method to monitor the Arctic's melting ice, which holds promise for improving the autonomy of marine vehicles, aiding in maritime ...

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...

Ice and its changes are an important part of the water cycle. In this activity, we’ll watch the melting of ice at different temperatures and in different conditions. Safety First! Read the Science ...

Melting ice high up in the Rocky Mountains has revealed an impeccably preserved forest, frozen in time for thousands of years. Beartooth Plateau, which sits at an altitude of over 10,000 feet (3,000 ...
