Laser Drill Achieves Efficient Ice Penetration for Space Exploration
A 1550 nm infrared laser drilled icy samples, reaching up to 3.1 m/h with ~10 W for dusty ice and a 6 mm borehole. Clear ice used ~20 W for ~1 m/h, granular ice 1.7 m/h at 12.7 W. getnews.me/laser-drill-achieves-eff... #laserdrilling #icescience
Infrared Spectroscopy Could Reveal Exotic Ice Phases on Icy Moons
Infrared spectroscopy can distinguish exotic high‑pressure ice phases such as ice V and ice XIII, and a few hours of JWST observations could identify them on Ganymede, researchers say. getnews.me/infrared-spectroscopy-co... #icescience #jupitermoons
New Study Reveals Molecular Dipoles Make Ice Slippery, Not Pressure
Saarland University researchers report in Physical Review Letters that electric dipole interactions, not pressure, create a liquid‑like film on ice, keeping it slippery below 0 °C. Read more: getnews.me/new-study-reveals-molecu... #icescience #physics
Mars Glaciers Found to Be Over 80% Pure Ice, New Study Shows
New research shows that Mars’ mid‑latitude glaciers contain over 80% pure water ice, a level far higher than previously thought. The findings were published in Icarus on 7 July 2025. getnews.me/mars-glaciers-found-to-b... #mars #glaciers #icescience
