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 ...

The reason we can gracefully glide on an ice-skating rink or clumsily slip on an icy sidewalk is that the surface of ice is ...

In this experiment, adding salt to ice triggers a chain reaction that reveals some fascinating science. The salt disrupts the ...

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

Rising temperatures of the world’s oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

BOSTON – Why is sea ice continuing to melt in the Arctic? NASA researchers are aiming to find out as they just wrapped up a never-before-done experiment. The research, called Arctic ...

A team of climate researchers and engineers is working together with local Arctic communities to implement bold new strategies to address melting sea ice. "The dramatic changes in the Arctic warrant ...

As glaciers melt around the globe, scientists are racing to retrieve ice cores that contain key historical records of temperature and climate that are preserved in the ice. Researchers are also ...
