In nature and technology, crystallization plays a pivotal role, from forming snowflakes and pharmaceuticals to creating ...

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - Even though most of North Dakota has seen less snowfall than normal so far this winter, the science ...

A huge snowstorm could dump more than two feet of snow all over the East Coast, and that means trillions and trillions of tiny snowflakes. Through advances in crystallography, scientists have learned ...

Glaciers carry unique organic carbon fingerprints that reflect geography and pollution, influencing ecosystems downstream.

Image caption, From a single ice crystal, these amazing patterns form according to different weather conditions. Snowflakes are renowned for their uniqueness. No matter how many billions of them ...

The temperature within this zone is the main factor in determining which type of flake will fall: big, hexagonal plates or stellar dendrites like we often think of when we imagine a snowflake ...

can hold itself together long enough to form a massive slab that can slip down a mountainside as a catastrophic avalanche. Next time you catch a snowflake on your tongue, think about how geometry ...

When it is very cold, tiny ice crystals begin to form high up in the sky. More crystals grow on top of these ice crystals to create hexagonal shapes called snowflakes. Hexagonal means they have ...
