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 ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have achieved the first experimental observation of a ...

If you live somewhere that gets deep freezes in winter, DIY ice lanterns are a fun, inexpensive, and traditional way to ...

If future missions confirm sustained heat flow at both poles, Enceladus would strengthen its position as one of the more accessible environments for detecting extraterrestrial life within the Solar ...

Water is all around us, yet its surface layer—home to chemical reactions that shape life on Earth—is surprisingly hard to study. Experiments at SLAC's X-ray laser are bringing it into focus.

At a remote field camp, scientists and engineers are on a mission to discover when and how fast the West Antarctic could melt ...
