The displacement measuring instruments at Aalto University’s Ice Tank, the largest of its kind in the world, detect the crack opening to the level of microns. In this image the crack has split the ice completely into two pieces. Credit: Iman El Gharamti/Aalto University New study suggests old rules on how ice breaks may not always hold up. Researchers at Aalto University have found strong evidence that warm ice – that is, ice very close in temperature to zero degrees Celsius – may fracture differently than the kinds of ice typically studied in laboratories or nature. A new study published in The Cryosphere takes a closer look at the phenomenon, studied at the world’s largest indoor ice tank on Aalto’s…
