Results were published in the science journal Nature on Wednesday. The Thwaites Glacier, part of the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is one of the world's fastest-changing and most unstable glaciers .

As expected, they saw nanoscale fatigue cracks appearing early on in the experiment. Unexpectedly, however, they also saw the ends of cracks fusing back together roughly 40 minutes later. “Cracks were ...

Imagine concrete healing its own cracks like human skin recovering from a cut. That's the vision behind the latest research of Dr. Congrui Grace Jin, published in Materials Today Communications.

Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” – nicknamed because its collapse could drive catastrophic sea level rise – is melting rapidly in unexpected ways, according to new research.

Thwaites is melting slower than thought, but the worst of it is concentrated in underbelly cracks, threatening the Antarctica glacier’s stability.
