Researchers explain a new mechanism for ice formation. Ice can form near the free surface of a water droplet via small precursors with a structure resembling ice 0. These are readily formed by ...

The building blocks of life on Earth may have been fueled by tiny sparks hopping between water droplets. Four billion years ago, Earth was a lifeless world, but a dynamic one. Crashing waves, rushing ...

Putting tiny magnetic particles inside ordinary water droplets can turn them into liquid acrobats – the droplets can climb steps, leap over obstacles and jump-start chemical reactions. This level of ...
