Because it’s happened to us on a trek, if you see abandoned clothes, stop and search for anyone nearby. Late-stage hypotherima causes a thing called paradoxical undressing where the person feels too hot and starts taking their clothes off.

Bubble of an idea leads to new research on freezing
Scientific inquiry often begins with the “why.”
Without expecting to do more than answer a question posed by a YouTube video, Virginia Tech researchers may have changed how people think about the process of freezing.
Lead Virginia Tech researcher Jonathan Boreyko, an assistant professor in mechanical engineering in the College of Engineering, and his student researchers were watching a YouTube video of a soap bubble freezing. The mesmerizing sight of ice crystals floating around the bubble made the engineers wonder what caused the phenomenon.
Boreyko and student researchers Farzad Ahmadi and Saurabh Nath, both graduate students in engineering mechanics, and Christian Kingett, an undergraduate researcher in engineering science and mechanics who graduated in 2019, conducted literature research and found that no one had ever studied how soap films or bubbles freeze.
The results of the team’s query, which began as a simple “why,” has been published in the journal Nature Communications, explaining the physics behind what causes the ice crystals jump up into the bubble and swirl around, thus changing perceptions about the process of freezing.

Researcher pushes limit of when water will freeze
Though it is one of the great mysteries of science, the transformation of water into ice often escapes people’s minds as it is just assumed that’s what happens. But how and why it happens is the subject of intense scrutiny by ice scientists like Hadi Ghasemi, Cullen Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston. In order to watch the process of crystallization of water into ice at the molecular level, Ghasemi is reporting the best look yet at the process: water-ice phase transformation down to 2 nm (nanometers) in diameter.
Then when Ghasemi examined these tiny particles, he made another discovery. He could break the limit of when water freezes and maintain the tiny droplets as liquid by putting them in contact with soft interfaces, like gels or lipids.
“We found that if a water droplet is in contact with a soft interface, freezing temperature could be significantly lower than hard surfaces. Also, a few-nanometer water droplet could avoid freezing down to -44 C if it is in contact with a soft interface,” Ghasemi reports in Nature Communications.

Infinite Storm (2022)
Trigger warnings and heavy spoiler under the cut:
There is an emotional and sad scene around 01:11 - 01:14 h where Pam has a flashback of the day when she found her two children that died of a gas leak.
Also John is suicidal and it is hinted at throughout the movie.
Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything as cold as silence
And you never say a word.

“Frozen”
Minnehaha Falls Version
There is something about being in the elements with the ones you care about. Lived in South Minneapolis all my life but this was the first time I ventured out to see the frozen waterfall at the Minnehaha Creek. :) Happy Valentines Day 2016!

The afternoon my ankles thawed
the valley salted itself. The skyline
was a catch of shrimp paddling
to de-tail me back into a human.
From the human came opal
dandelions, came pollen & petal,
came grain & powder.
I used to want you whole, they said.
The mountains were a story
of aberration. Between the red
rock chasms, spiders dropped
from the lack of air. They lost
limbs. I heard snow fall
in my dreams. I was a guardian
of lemon & birthstone. I hiked
a trail, collecting rinds.
My pockets filled with opal ice.
You can grate a home out of peels.
You can hollow a wall from wind.
You can dance on a brick staircase
fighting with your feet to frost
or shed until you turn to salt.

Whumpee’s teeth chatter despite all efforts to silence them, and they pull their jacket tighter around them. “I can’t get warm,” they tell Teammate, shivering uncontrollably.
“Neither can I,” they whisper back, but shed their jacket and wrap it over Whumpee’s shoulders anyway.
