New research has revealed how massive ancient glaciers acted like giant bulldozers, reshaping Earth's surface and paving the way for complex life to flourish. By chemically analyzing crystals in ...

Previously predicted by theoretical models, we now have the first experimental observation of plastic Ice VII. That might ...

Water isn't just liquid, ice, or vapor — under extreme conditions, it can transform into exotic phases, such as the newly observed plastic ice VII. This hybrid phase, predicted years ago but only ...

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states—solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact ...

Love it or hate it, snow and ice is an inevitability that many of us deal with during winter. Along with prepping your home for the cold, your car also requires special attention. Winter is tough ...

Search and rescue crews and police arrived at Grace Lake to find a large hole in the ice that was surrounded by fishing gear. Ultimately, the RCMP's Underwater Recovery Team helped recover the men ...

The primary purpose of the mammoth-bone structure remains unclear. While some researchers suggest it may have been used as a dwelling to protect against the intense cold of the last Ice Age ...

Scientists used computer models to predict how water flows under the entire Antarctic ice sheet, which dictates where and how quickly glaciers move toward the ocean. The findings, published Dec ...

Though some snow is possible with this system, the main weather threat will be freezing rain, and thus ice, forecasters said. The ice on the roads could lead to dangerous to "impossible" travel ...
