The lab-created compounds — never seen before — might exist naturally on icy moons in the outer solar system. By Kenneth Chang Scientists have discovered two new forms of salty ice that probably do ...

IN this note a method of quantitative calculation and construction of Laue patterns from bent sodium chloride crystals is proposed, which is in good agreement with experiment. It is known 1 that when ...

The positive areas of the water molecules surround the negative Chloride ions. The negative areas of the water molecules surround the positive sodium ions. As the attractions from the water molecules ...

[Chase’s] post titled “How to Grow Sodium Chloride Crystals at Home” might as well be called “Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Salt Crystals (but Were Afraid to Ask).” We aren’t sure what ...

An image from NASA’s Galileo orbiter shows Europa’s icy surface, crisscrossed by reddish-brown streaks of radiation-darkened salt. (Credit: NASA / JPL / Ted Stryk) A prime target in the search for ...

The red streaks crisscrossing the surface of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, are striking. Scientists suspect it is a frozen mixture of water and salts, but its chemical signature is mysterious ...
