Snowflakes, nature's tiny artworks, owe their six-sided symmetry to the hexagonal arrangement of water molecules in ice. As they fall through clouds, varying temperatures and humidity dictate their ...
New research by chemist has shed new light on ice crystal formation by combining an electron backscatter with a large single crystal ice model. Scientists discovered that an ice crystal's flat sides ...
MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (May 10, 2017) - More than 400 years ago, renowned mathematician and scientist Johannes Kepler speculated about the creation of one of nature's most angelic and unique shapes ...
From large, wet flakes to hard, barrel-shaped pellets, snow comes in many forms. While all snowflakes start in the same basic way, variations in temperature and humidity while they are forming ...
Up in the winter sky, water vapor in a cloud condenses into a droplet and freezes into a tiny bit of ice, with the water molecules bonding together as a hexagonal crystalline lattice with a six-fold ...
