Researchers investigate the effects of oxygen content on the melting of mantle rocks and the formation of early Earth magma It is widely accepted that the early Earth largely consisted of molten magma ...

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...

Icebergs are melting faster than current models describe, according to a new study by mathematicians at the University of Sydney. The researchers have proposed a new model to more accurately represent ...

Humble oxygen is more than just a building block of life. The element could also help scientists sneak a peek into the innards of planets orbiting faraway stars, a new study suggests. Laboratory ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In this simple science experiment for kids, your kids will learn about how salt changes the melting point of ice, and how your child can use salt to make ice “sticky” so you can ...

A team of climate researchers and engineers is working together with local Arctic communities to implement bold new strategies to address melting sea ice. In a recent article for The Conversation, ...
