The friction on fault planes that controls how rocks slide during earthquakes decreases significantly as a result of complex fault-lubrication processes involving frictional melting. Fault friction ...

Nanobodies have a promising future in biotherapeutics because, at a mere 12 to 15 kDal, they excel at penetrating tissue, neutralizing pathogen, and blocking select proteins. Delivering on that ...

A team of mathematicians and physicists has discovered how ice formations are shaped by external forces, such as water temperature. Its newly published research may offer another means for gauging ...

Global temperatures have been rising and sea ice has been melting at unprecedented rates since the start of 2016. Scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York said that each ...

Snow, sleet and freezing rain are not the same, and their impacts aren't either. Here is a look at what causes each and which ...

Tidewater glaciers, like those seen by millions of tourists in Alaska's Glacier Bay, flow down from the land and terminate at the ocean, where warming water and air temperatures can expedite melting, ...

We are in the heart of a deep blast of cold air right now with temps below-zero for some and wind chills as cold as -20. The sunshine makes a difference with your spirit but can also make a difference ...
