Scientists have devised a way of writing and storing messages by creating patterns of air bubbles in sheets of ice. By Alexander Nazaryan A new study by Chinese, Korean and Czech scientists points to ...

The explosiveness of a volcanic eruption depends on how many gas bubbles form in the magma—and when. Until now, it was thought that gas bubbles were formed primarily when the ambient pressure dropped ...

Inspired by naturally occurring air bubbles in glaciers, researchers have developed a method to encode messages in ice. Publishing June 18 in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports Physical Science, the ...

Scientists have uncovered a long-missing piece of the volcanic puzzle: rising magma doesn’t just form explosive gas bubbles when pressure drops—it can do so simply by being sheared and “kneaded” ...

It has been cold enough, finally, for ice to start forming on our local lakes and ponds. Ice has been accumulating along the edge of our river and almost spanned it before the recent warm, rainy ...
