For more than a century, scientists have debated why ice stays slippery, even well below freezing. The most common ...

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 ...

WARNING: this video contains incredible macro footage of supercooled water droplets nucleating ice. This video contains incredible macro footage of supercooled water droplets nucleating ice. All ...

The other day I posted a bragging-type sunset picture taken from our backyard and posted it. Someone skipped the killer reds and oranges and noted all the pretty white snow covering everything. I had ...

Clouds form when water vapor – an invisible gas in the atmosphere – sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, ...

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 ...

Water frozen in the depths of space has long been considered a shapeless, frozen fog. For decades, scientists believed it formed without structure, too cold and still to grow orderly crystals. But a ...

No one can control the weather, but certain clouds can be deliberately triggered to release rain or snow. The process, known as cloud seeding, typically involves dispersing small silver iodide ...
