Earlier this week we broke down the complexities of mixed-phase precipitation forecasting.Within that we briefly touched on a key component to that complexity w ...

A groundbreaking University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa study on the freezing of water droplets suspended in air sheds light on a key process in Earth’s water cycle: the transformation of supercooled ...

This anomalous behaviour persists even when water is supercooled — that is, cooled below the temperature at which, under equilibrium conditions, it would form ice. Water exhibits a well-known ...

To supercool something, it has to reach a temperature below its freezing point while staying in a liquid form. Normally when water drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, it freezes and turns into ice.

is transforming the way drinking-water pipes are cleaned and maintained. Developed by Professor Joe Quarini to clean pipes more thoroughly and produce less waste, the technique pumps a thick ice ...

This is the key to freezing rain. Supercooled water will freeze on impact - forming a clear layer of ice on cold surfaces such as trees, roads and power lines. It's once it hits the surface and ...
