Sea ice may not be enough to support ice shelves; melting snow on surface ice doubles; Thwaites damage

A study by Copernicus reports that the effect of sea ice (fast ice connected to land) as a supporting force against land ice is negligible. The study area was the Larsen B Ice Shelf, which has been collapsing since 2002 and is effectively gone after a major collapse in 2022. We observe the evacuation of … Read more

Ultra-precise atomic clock doubles previous accuracy, could detect dark matter

Time: It bends and curves, or appears to speed up or slow down, depending on your position or perception. So precisely measuring its passage is one of the most fundamental tasks in physics—and could help us land on Mars or even observe dark matter. Now, physicists from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology … Read more
