Previously predicted by theoretical models, we now have the first experimental observation of plastic Ice VII. That might ...

Water ice is a far more complex substance than we might assume. Scientists have now created an exotic new form of ice in the ...

In ice, water molecules are arranged in a repeating pattern that gives ice its crystal structure. Even though ice is at 0 °C, the molecules still vibrate. After freezing, the water molecules are ...

TUCKED away in a corner of Antarctica lies a mysterious mountain peak that looks exactly like a man-made pyramid with four symmetrical sides. The snowy structure of the ice-locked continent has a ...

Water isn't just liquid, ice, or vapor — under extreme conditions, it can transform into exotic phases, such as the newly observed plastic ice VII. This hybrid phase, predicted years ago but only ...

An anti-icing technology inspired by the natural structure of human skin has been developed. The surface features a multi-scale wrinkle design combining large and small wrinkles. Large wrinkles ...
