Montpelier photographer John Snell is fascinated by water in all its forms. Turning his lens on it — sometimes inches away from a dew drop, sometimes 40,000 feet above Lake ...
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has made the first-ever and long-anticipated detection of ice outside of our own solar ...
"So only a tiny fraction of the energy can be used to produce vapor anymore.” In other words, ice can suppress the Leidenfrost effect even at very high temperatures (up to 550° C), which means ...
Shortly after the discovery, a research group led by Carolyn Porco, head of Cassini's imaging science team, calculated the ratio of water ice to vapor in the plumes. Cassini wasn't able to ...
Dry ice is a fascinating substance because it sublimates at room temperature — meaning that it transforms directly from a solid to a gas. Dry ice is a block of frozen carbon dioxide. It has a ...
These observations suggest that convective moistening could contribute to future climate change-induced stratospheric water vapour increases. Figure 1: Tropical ice water path, water vapour and ...
A drone, equipped with custom instruments, has provided the first high-resolution look at water vapor and its isotopic fingerprints above one of the world’s largest ice sheets. The findings are ...
Astronomers have discovered direct evidence of water on the dwarf planet Ceres in the form of vapor plumes erupting into space, possibly from volcano-like ice geysers on its surface. Using ...
