As surface air temperatures rise above 0°C, snow and ice cover melts, resulting in the appearance of snow/ice-free barren and vegetated areas. These newly exposed surfaces release increased amounts of ...

Researchers explain a new mechanism for ice formation. Ice can form near the free surface of a water droplet via small precursors with a structure resembling ice 0. These are readily formed by ...

The science behind no-churn ice cream and the one pantry ingredient that makes it work. No-churn ice cream is easy, but only if you use the right ingredients—namely, sweetened condensed milk. In this ...

Analysis of in-flight emissions from an Airbus A350-900 using 100% sustainable aviation fuel indicates a reduction of 35% in soot particle numbers, and a halving of contrail ice-crystal formation per ...

NEW ORLEANS, March 20, 2024 — From abstract-looking cloud formations to roars of snow machines on ski slopes, the transformation of liquid water into solid ice touches many facets of life. Water’s ...

A new study suggests that adding a tiny amount of ice-nucleating particles into aircraft engine exhaust could make contrails far less harmful by shortening their lifespan.

Universally known to indicate that the winter season has arrived and known in the Inland Northwest to indicate that it is time to don warm boots and gloves to scrape your car before work, snow is ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have announced a discovery. Despite forming in a perfectly hexagonal lattice, ice exhibits surprising flexibility and ...

Ice cream seems like a simple concept. Take some dairy, add some sugar and flavors and freeze. But to get a perfectly creamy, smoothly textured frozen treat, we need more than just a low temperature — ...
