In the deep ocean, thousands of feet below the surface, it looks like it's snowing. At those depths, the water is filled with slowly drifting particles known as "marine snow," part of a never-ending ...
Machine-made snow forms spherical balls instead of flakes, creating harder surfaces that affect skiing performance, but offer other tradeoffs that help with early season conditions.
Abstract: The global cryosphere – the frozen water domain – is experiencing unprecedented change. To match this rapid pace, innovative technological approaches and interdisciplinary engineering ...
Newly discovered microscopic mucus tails – trailing from particles of marine snow particles – slow these particles’ descent into the deep ocean, research finds. This doubles the particles’ residence ...
WASHINGTON — Tiny, sinking flakes of detritus in the ocean fall more slowly thanks to the goop that surrounds each flake, new observations reveal. The invisible mucus makes “comet tails” that surround ...
