New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Researchers in Norway investigated the melting behavior of silicon kerf agglomerates under different atmospheres and temperatures to improve recycling for solar-grade silicon. They found that vacuum ...

The melting of Southeast Alaska’s Juneau Icefield, source of more than 1,000 glaciers, is accelerating, shrinking 4.6 times faster than it was in the 1980s, according to a new study. Researchers ...

Antarctica’s key glaciers are melting faster as underwater storms churn warm water upward. New research reveals surprising short-term forces driving the loss, raising fresh questions about how quickly ...

As glaciers and ice sheets retreat, they are exposing objects, organisms, and landscapes that have been locked away for centuries or even millennia. Those revelations are reshaping how I understand ...

Time now for our science news roundup from our friends at NPR's Short Wave podcast. Aaron Scott and Regina Barber, welcome back. REGINA BARBER, BYLINE: Hi, Ari. AARON SCOTT, BYLINE: Thank you, Ari.

A materials engineer at the University of California San Diego is leading the development of a new research platform for studying high-performance materials, in particular new materials that melt ...
