When water freezes into ice or boils into vapor, its properties change dramatically at specific temperatures. These so-called phase transitions are fundamental to understanding materials. But how do ...

What makes Enceladus so interesting is that it’s completely covered in a 40 kilometer thick sheet of ice, and underneath ...

For the first time, researchers have collected detailed measurements of water vapor high above the surface of the Greenland ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered a new phase of matter while studying a model system of a magnetic material.

What is Plastic Ice VII? Plastic Ice VII is a unique phase of water initially predicted through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations over 15 years ago. It combines the properties of both solids and ...

Such ice holds promise for future crews in its potential for conversion to drinkable water and oxygen. The mission is a joint effort between Houston-based space exploration company Intuitive ...

The dot and cross diagram shows that a water molecule is made up of one oxygen atom joined to two hydrogen atoms, so the formula of water is H 2 O. A nitrogen molecule is made up of two nitrogen ...

Hybrid micro/nanostructures can also improve the liquid-to-vapor heat transfer by extending the triple phase contact line for evaporation enhancement and sustain a thin liquid film with lower thermal ...

The approach is highly efficient since it can convert water vapor and CO2 directly into syngas ... to a tonne a day in the project’s next phase. The kerosene will be tested by aircraft engine ...
