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 ...

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

Imagine holding a narrow tube filled with salty water and watching it begin to freeze from one end. You might expect the ice ...

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 ...

Elk Grove Village is emptying its net in an aggressive push to assist multifamily developer Nick Papanicholas Jr.’s goal of building a new indoor ice arena on the Chicago suburb’s west side. The local ...

A municipal water treatment facility in Fort Smith, Ark. The state on Nov. 19 approved nearly $154 million for 59 water and wastewater projects, including treatment-plant expansions, distribution ...

Webb County Commissioners Court will meet Monday to discuss a variety of topics, including several issues related to the county’s water supply. One of the water items up for discussion involves ...

Researchers found that hot tubs raise core body temperature more effectively than traditional or infrared saunas, leading to stronger boosts in blood flow and immune activity. Only hot-water immersion ...

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet covers some 760,000 square miles and is up to 1.2 miles thick. If it were to ever melt away entirely, it would add 10 feet to global sea levels. Even considering how ...

MIT engineers have created an ultrasonic device that rapidly frees water from materials designed to absorb moisture from the air. Instead of waiting hours for heat to evaporate the trapped water, the ...
