It's common to see flat pans of ice floating on Michigan's Great Lakes or other water bodies every winter like lily pads, but ...

Last Wednesday, many looked up to say …it’s a bird, it’s a plane it’s …not Superman …so what was it?

FARGO — Frost and snow are made of ice but form as intricate crystals, whereas ice that forms on a lake or a puddle is more of a hard blob of water. Impurities aside, water is made of water and ice ...

Researchers have developed a novel method to detect and study how ice forms in mixed-phase clouds, significantly boosting scientists' ability to forecast weather and model climate change. Subscribe to ...

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 ...

Visual representation of the structure of low-density amorphous ice. Many tiny crystallites (white) are concealed in the amorphous material (blue). “Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as ...

Bright patches of light, known as sun dogs, appear when sunlight bends through hexagonal ice crystals in high-altitude clouds. These dazzling displays ...

While it may be the reason behind tires skidding, pipes bursting, and closed roads making traffic a nightmare, ice doesn’t always form as easily as it seems. It often gets an assist from proteins made ...

The other day I posted a bragging-type sunset picture taken from our backyard and posted it. Someone skipped the killer reds and oranges and noted all the pretty white snow covering everything. I had ...

"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, according to a new study by scientists at UCL (University College London) and ...
