Physicists have finally filmed a crystal as it melts and discovered that, under the right conditions, it refuses to behave ...

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It’s likely that you’ve heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...

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 ...

Scientists have some wild ideas to slow sea-level rise caused by melting ice. Glaciers generally move so slowly you can’t see their progress with the naked eye. (Their pace is … glacial.) But these ...

Ice-melting probes and thermal drilling technologies represent a sophisticated intersection of thermal engineering and planetary exploration. These technologies utilise controlled heating to melt ice, ...

CLIMATEWIRE | As temperatures fall and sunlight wanes this winter, scientists will gather in the Canadian Arctic with drills and pumps in tow. Their mission: to refreeze the region’s melting sea ice.

Ice and its changes are an important part of the water cycle. In this activity, we’ll watch the melting of ice at different temperatures and in different conditions. Safety First! Read the Science ...
