Sand was eroded into amazing sculpture-like shapes on the shores of Lake Michigan, as brutally cold wind chills were reported in the region. Footage from Nate’s Dronography shows the phenomenon ...

Naturally occurring ice comes in many different shapes and sizes, from hollow columns and needles to platelets and bullet-shaped rosettes. Whichever shape an ice crystal takes, it largely depends ...

With better understanding of how different ice crystal shapes move and orient themselves, meteorologists can interpret these radar signals more accurately, and better estimate when ice becomes rain.

Kern Desjarlais first worked in the food industry at age 14, starting at a catering company in Connecticut, and then slinging burgers and scooping ice cream on summer jobs.

Iceland is a land like no other,a place where fire meets ice, where dramatic landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see, ...

A: Benedict explains that snowflakes form through a process called nucleation, in which water molecules come together — typically around a speck of dust or pollen — to create an ice crystal. As the ...

How can ice crystallizing on one arm 'know' the shape of the other arms on the flake? ... The hexagonal symmetry is maintained, but the ice crystal may branch off in new directions.

Those temperature changes morph the arms into different shapes and give us the diverse snowflakes and crystals we see. Since all the arms endure the same fluctuations, they can grow symmetrically.

A Russian cosmonaut has shared an absolutely gorgeous photo of a Moon-shaped ice formation on the window of the International Space Station — and although we have questions, we sure do love to ...

The shape they take on forces the next water molecules into the pentagonal form as they attach to the surface. Exotic crystals The new result suggests even more exotic ice crystal shapes are ...

MARIETTA — Hundreds of people bundled up for the Marietta Ice Festival on Saturday to see ice sculptures on display in downtown Marietta and to see a live ice sculpture being created. With ...
