Simulations and experiments indicate that the low-density amorphous ice found on comets and icy moons is not, in fact, ...

Long thought to be completely disordered, space ice appears to have some crystallized regions, new research suggests.

It turns out that high-pressure molecular ices, like ice VII, can hold simple salts in their crystal structures, and those salty ices can carry nutrients from the planet’s mineral core to the ...

What You Will Learn Why snow crystals grow into such a diverse menagerie of morphological structures, including thin ice plates, slender columns, fern-like stellar dendrites, and many others The basic ...

In a similar experiment with guar gum, ice crystals grew to 50 micrometers in just three days. Researchers froze a sucrose solution to see if cellulose nanocrystals, or CNCs, slowed ice crystal ...
