Arctic sea ice loss and the Eurasian winter cooling trend: Is there a link?
Observations of Arctic sea ice have shown that it has been melting at a fast pace over the last few decades. However, what is more uncertain and presently a subject of debate is how these sea ice changes might be impacting ...

New study describes how surface texture can help or hinder formation of ice crystals
A new study examining how ice forms from pure water found that the geometry of the surface that water is on can have an effect on whether or not it freezes, suggesting that surface geometry plays an important role in ice ...
