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 ...

A picture of what West Antarctica looked like when its ice sheet melted in the past can offer insight into the continent’s ...

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 ...

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 ...
