Researchers studying the Milky Way’s center have discovered unexpected cold hydrogen clouds nestled inside the Fermi bubbles, ...
These stunning images reveal that even in the most inhospitable of environments, life can thrive - and create incredibly beautiful effects as it does. The images show ice bubbles in Abraham Lake ...
New research has uncovered a possible clue as to why glaciers that terminate at the sea are retreating at unprecedented rates: the bursting of tiny, pressurized bubbles in underwater ice.
“Rebreathing bubbles allow lizards to stay underwater longer. Before, we suspected it—we saw a pattern—but we didn’t actually test if it served a functional role.” ...
Scientists have devised a way of writing and storing messages by creating patterns of air bubbles in sheets of ice.
While fish and many other aquatic animals take air directly from the water through gills, other animals find ingenious ways to drag air bubbles down from the surface or trap air around their bodies.
Assigning certain sizes, shapes and positions of bubbles to characters within Morse and binary codes means messages could be stored in ice ...
“It was only when we started talking about the physics of the process that we realized those bubbles may be doing a lot more than just making noise underwater as the ice melts.” ...
The team was inspired by bubbles trapped in Antarctic ice, revealing information about our climate hundreds of thousands of years in the past.
A species of semi-aquatic lizard produces a special bubble over its nostrils to breathe underwater and avoid predators, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University of ...
“It was only when we started talking about the physics of the process that we realized those bubbles may be doing a lot more than just making noise underwater as the ice melts.” ...
The study shows that glacier ice, characterized by pockets of pressurized air, melts much more quickly than the bubble-free sea ice or manufactured ice typically used to research melt rates at the ...
