The ice and salt experiment is a classic demonstration of freezing point depression, and it’s more powerful than most people ...

Ice hacks for weight loss include drinking cold drinks and taking cold showers. Research shows cold exposure might increase calorie burning and improve insulin sensitivity. There's no firm evidence ...

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 ...

Researchers at KRISS observed water’s rapid freeze–melt cycles under ultrahigh pressure and discovered Ice XXI, the first new ice phase found in decades. Using advanced high-pressure tech and ...

The soft, chewable texture of nugget ice—sometimes called pellet, pebble, or Sonic ice—has developed a devoted following among ice enthusiasts. Unlike traditional ice cubes, nugget ice offers a unique ...

Scientists created a form of “super ice” that conducts electricity rather than simply freezing by compressing water under enormous pressure and bombarding it with powerful X-rays. This discovery ...
