Faraday's 166-Year-Old Mystery of Premelted Ice Solved
Researchers have discovered a new amorphous ice layer forming at extremely low temperatures, explaining the long-standing phenomenon of premelting on ice surfaces, which has implications for climate science, material preservation, and understanding natural processes. The study builds on Faraday's observations from 1842 and uses machine learning and atomic force microscopy to analyze the structure of this layer.
