Three years ago, chemists found evidence for the existence of a new variety of ice. Until then, 18 types of crystalline ice were known. The team now reports on the elucidation of the crystal structure ...

Owing to the many different ways atoms can be arranged within the material, ice can exist in many more forms than what’s known as ice I, the type we’re all familiar with. Scientists have actually ...

Only one side of a silver crystal has the right structure to trigger ice formation, revealing how these particles help clouds ...

No one can control the weather, but certain clouds can be deliberately triggered to release rain or snow. The process, known ...

Meet Ice XXI, a newly identified form of ice that can exist at room temperature (albeit very briefly). Creating it is no ...

Developing and manufacturing effective, safe, reliable new drugs or critical new materials for use in semiconductors or applications involving dangerous materials requires many layers of knowledge.

"Richard Dennis publications in association with Wellcome Collection" -- t.p. "Published in conjunction with the exhibition: From atoms to patterns: crystal structure designs from the 1951 Festival of ...

Ice is a very versatile material. In snowflakes or ice cubes, the oxygen atoms are arranged hexagonally. This ice form is called ice one (ice I). "Strictly speaking, however, these are not actually ...
