ScienceAtomic images reveal why one common mineral is superior at producing ice
Microcline can trigger ice formation across ordinary flat mineral terraces, rather than relying mainly on cracks, pores or other rare surface defects. Its unusually strong ice-nucleating ability appears tied to an ordered pattern of aluminol groups that helps stabilize hydrogen bonds with water.

ScienceScientists find a huge 10-sided wave pattern swirling in the clouds over Saturn's south pole
Scientists have discovered an enormous 10-sided wave pattern in the icy ammonia clouds over Saturn’s south pole. The spinning, meandering decagon appears to be even bigger and more unstable than the hexagon of clouds around Saturn’s north pole that was spied by NASA’s twin Voyagers in the 1980s, the Spanish-led team reported Wednesday. This new jet stream formation popped up in the Hubble Space Telescope’s sights in 2023 after earlier observations came up empty.

Researchers believe the catastrophe, which has so far killed more than 1,000 people, was triggered by a massive landslide high in the Himalayan mountains. Rising global temperatures have made high-mountain areas across the globe more unstable—and the risks of cataclysmic events have increased.
