Researchers used low-energy helium atom scattering to study the topmost layer of ice, finding that water molecules vibrate strongly, causing a coherent diffraction pattern to be elusive. The results explain why ice is slippery, adheres to other ice surfaces, and traps molecules in the stratosphere, leading to ozone depletion.

The CU-Boulder payload, dubbed COLLIDE, analyzes the gentle collisions of dust particles in space to understand the dynamics of larger particles. Four different impact speeds and two different depths of dust will be tested to shed light on the mysterious disappearance of dust from planetary ring particles.

A new study by Ohio University researchers found that women with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis use various coping mechanisms to deal with pain, including relaxation and emotional support. Women were better at regulating the emotional aspect of pain, while men struggled more with mood changes after high-pain days.
