For centuries, people believed ice was slippery because pressure and friction melted a thin film of water. But new research from Saarland University reveals that this long-standing explanation is ...

For astronomers, probing the mysteries of “space ice”—its molecular makeup and how it formed—could be the key to understanding not just extraterrestrial geology but also the potential for alien life.

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho Seong) has successfully observed, for the ...

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

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 ...

The study of ice loads and ice-structure interaction is central to ensuring the integrity and safety of offshore installations operating in polar and sub-polar regions. The engineering challenges stem ...
