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

Unlike all other known ice, MDA has a density similar to water, resembles water in solid form, and bears a property not found in other ice: When it heats up and recrystallizes to ordinary ice, it ...

Not all ice is created equal. A recent study published in Nature Communications by researchers at the University of Innsbruck has identified the 19th form of water ice. A second paper by ...

To mimic this process, the researchers deposited water vapor onto a cold surface to freeze. They also crushed ice at extremely cold temperatures to create a higher-density form of amorphous ice.

On Earth, the relatively warm temperatures in which ice exists gives the water molecules enough energy to form an ordered, crystalline structure akin to the symmetry of snowflakes. However, in ...

Ice dams form when snow on a roof starts to melt when hot air escapes from the home. When the water runs down the roof and away from the heat, it re-freezes at the edges, creating a large ice ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

The pursuit of water on the moon has accelerated ever since water molecules were discovered in lunar soil by the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 probe in 2008. In the following ...

A new form of lab-created ice, medium-density amorphous ice (MDA), could hold clues about how ice interacts with nature. MDA is the third form of amorphous ice discovered: the first, in its ...
