Linfield University physics professor Michael Crosser explains what makes ice slippery, and why different winter Olympic ...

The phenomenon was described by a professor as similar to "a pot of boiling pasta" – and it's happening to solid ice.

For more than 200 years, scientists have argued about a deceptively simple question: why does a sheet of frozen water let us glide, skid and fall so easily. Now a new generation of simulations and ...

"We typically think of ice as a solid material, so the discovery that parts of the Greenland ice sheet actually undergo ...

Scientists working at the South Pole have completed a major hardware expansion of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, installing new sensor strings deep in Antarctic ice during the 2025-2026 austral ...

For years, scientists studying the Greenland ice sheet have been puzzled by unusual swirling patterns hidden deep beneath the surface. Now, researchers believe they have finally solved the mystery. A ...

During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances will look different to my students who have studied physics through sports.
