Everyone understands how amazing water is and how important it is to life on the planet Earth. 71% of the Earth is comprised of water and water makes up approximately 60% of the human body. There is ...

Mixed in with some of the light or even steady snow from earlier were some patches of freezing drizzle, particularly between ...

When water gets cold enough, it turns into ice. But what if the seemingly most-obvious physics lesson you know wasn’t true? What if water just got colder and colder? Under the right conditions, it can ...

Thanks to elementary school earth science, we understand that when someone says “temperatures are below freezing,'' they’re saying temperatures are 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) or lower.

Although dark matter makes up roughly 85 percent of all matter, it's still never been directly detected. Ever more sensitive systems are in the works, watching and waiting for wandering dark matter ...

Supercooled water is two of a kind, a new study shows. Scientists have long suspected that water at subfreezing temperatures comes in two distinct varieties: a high-density liquid that appears at very ...

Water is key to life on Earth and one of the most studied substances in the universe. Most of its properties are simple and familiar to us, but some are complex and somewhat baffling. The rest of this ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- If you ever left a bottle of water in a car or outside when temperatures were below freezing, you may have seen it turn from a liquid to ice almost instantly. What happens to ...

Supercooled water may be a two-for-one deal. A long-standing theory holds that liquid water at temperatures well below freezing is composed of two different arrangements of molecules, one with high ...

But in supercooled water, molecules start to slow down irregularly. The researchers showed through simulations that some regions of the water become affected more than others, forming hydrogen bonds ...
