Image quality often makes the difference between an amazing multimedia experience, like feeling immersed in a high-definition movie, and a visual letdown. When it comes to biomolecular imaging, the ...

The illustration shows what happens on the surface of ice when another object, such as skis, ice skates or shoe soles, comes into contact with it: the previously orderly crystal structure of the water ...

The Saarland researchers reveal that the slipperiness of ice is driven by electrostatic forces, not melting. Water molecules in ice are arranged in a rigid crystal lattice. Each molecule has a ...

It’s an oft-cited science “fact” that ice is slippery due to pressure or friction, but this explanation doesn’t explain why ice’s slippery behavior remains at temperatures where such melting isn’t ...

During the UK’s recent snowy and icy spell, you might have tried salting your driveway to prevent, or “melt”, ice. That likely works because of an ongoing battle between water and ice on the top layer ...

For over a hundred years, schoolchildren around the world have learned that ice melts when pressure and friction are applied. When you step out onto an icy pavement in winter, you can slip up because ...
