A team of researchers has developed a theoretical model explaining how specific structural details on surfaces influence water’s freezing point, paving the way for advancements in materials design for ice formation and enhanced weather prediction. Credit: SciTechDaily.comResearch unveils a mathematical model for ice nucleation, showing how surface angles affect water’s freezing point, with applications in snowmaking and cloud seeding.From abstract-looking cloud formations to roars of snow machines on ski slopes, the…

Incorporating a phase-change material into concrete, researchers have created a self-heating material that can melt snow and ice for up to 10 hours without using salt or shovels. The novel material could reduce the need for plowing and salting and help preserve the integrity of road surfaces.According to the US Department of Transportation (DOT), more than 70% of roads are in snowy regions. Snow and ice accumulation reduces road friction and vehicle maneuverability, causing drivers to slow and increasing the risk of…

A heavy snowpack is fun for skiers and sledders, and it also acts like an open-air storage tank that melts away to provide water for drinking, irrigation and other purposes during dry months. But exactly how much water is…

Those who pre-order Frostpunk 2’s deluxe edition will receive the base game 72 hours early — so…

South Park: Snow Day! is nothing like the two South Park RPGs that preceded it, with its 3D animated aesthetic, its co-op battle gameplay, and even its surprisingly cheap $30 price tag. The move away from epic-scale, in-depth RPGs was a deliberate choice, says co-creator Matt Stone, and gives them the freedom to do some new things with the South Park gaming franchise."We came off of The Fractured But Whole, and we definitely wanted to do another video game, but we wanted to do something different," Stone…
