Inside the cores of ice giant planets, the pressure and temperature are so extreme that the water residing there transitions into a phase completely unfamiliar under natural conditions on Earth.

A thin, watery layer coating the surface of ice is what makes it slick. Despite a great deal of theorizing over the centuries ...

A strange new phase of ice has been discovered during experiments with the world's largest X-ray laser. Meet ice XXI, a bizarre phase that forms at room temperature, under extreme pressure. Ice XXI is ...

Ice comes in many phases (about twenty, to be exact), and scientists from the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) just discovered a new one called “Ice XXI.” To study this new ...

This story was produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center’s Ocean Reporting Network. A “civil war” is brewing in polar science. As climate change rapidly melts Earth’s ice, sides are being drawn ...

OMAHA — On a warm spring day, about 20 kids were inside a Dundee ice cream shop readying for summer by learning about the science behind the cold stuff as the Nebraska Science Festival ended Saturday.

Another cold start tomorrow, then snow returns Tuesday -- with rain and wind following shortly after. Dan Smith has the latest.

Ice friction is a critical factor affecting tyre performance in winter conditions, where low temperatures and varying ice surface properties demand specialised rubber compound formulations. The ...
