Crystalline Ice Discovered in Space: New Study Reveals Hidden Order in Cosmic Ice
A groundbreaking study from University College London and the University of Cambridge reveals that water ice in space, long believed to be completely amorphous due to extreme cold, may actually contain up to 25% crystalline structure. Simulations and X-ray diffraction experiments confirm the presence of nanocrystals in so-called low-density amorpho...

Opinion | What Recent Mumbai Flooding Should Teach Us About Climate
Extreme weather events have become more frequent across the world and barely anyone is spared. While Mumbai was dealing with a deluge, a glacier collapsed in Switzerland, dumping mud and ice into a valley and burying the village of Blatten.

Extreme Glaciers Could Lose Most Of Their Ice If Global Warming Continues: Study
More than twice as much global glacier mass will remain if countries restrict temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to the warming level of 2.7 degrees Celsius resulting from the current policies, says a new study released.

Ancient 14,000-Year-Old Solar Storm Revealed as Strongest Ever Recorded in Earth’s History
A massive solar storm struck Earth 14,300 years ago, now confirmed as the most powerful ever recorded. Finnish scientists detected it through carbon-14 spikes in Ice Age tree rings. Over 500 times stronger than the 2003 Halloween Storm, this ancient event redefines solar risk and highlights the growing need to safeguard modern infrastructure agains...

Scientists Observe Rare Plastic Ice, A Hybrid Form of Ice and Water, Under Extreme Pressure and Heat
Researchers have observed plastic ice, a phase where water molecules rotate while staying in a solid structure. The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa and Titan's interiors and could influence nu...

Historical Records Unveil 16th Century Transylvania’s Climate Struggles
Centuries-old records from Transylvania offer insight into the extreme climate events of the 1500s. Researchers examined handwritten manuscripts in multiple languages to trace shifts in temperature, droughts, and floods. The study reveals how people endured environmental hardships, including famine and disease. Evidence suggests the Little Ice Age ...

Extreme Arctic Warming Sees North Pole Temperatures Rise Above Freezing
A sharp rise in Arctic temperatures saw the North Pole exceed freezing, with readings 20 degree Celsius above normal. Scientists warn of accelerating ice loss and climate change impacts. The event, attributed to a weather system near Iceland, has raised concerns about Arctic amplification, which causes the region to warm nearly four times faster th...

Lunar Temperature Fluctuations: Understanding the Moon's Extreme Conditions
The Moon's surface undergoes extreme temperature shifts, ranging from over 100°C in daylight to minus 100°C in darkness. These fluctuations are due to the lack of atmosphere, which causes rapid temperature changes. The Moon's regolith, poor at conducting heat, leads to insulation at deeper levels. Shaded areas, particularly in lunar pits, maintai...

New Chemical Models Might Reveal Whether Icy Moons of Saturn and Jupiter Contain Life
Recent studies aim to determine the habitability of Saturn's moon Enceladus using improved chemical models. These tools simulate how organic compounds interact with icy environments under extreme conditions. The research, led by Charity Phillips-Lander and Florent Bocher, focuses on phenomena such as organic-doped ice pores, replicating conditions ...
