Ice loss due to climate change has slightly slowed the Earth's spin, a new study shows — and it could affect how we measure time.

According to the study, is that despite polar ice melt exerting a slowing influence, overall the Earth's rotation is speeding.

NASA only needs a single grain of ice to detect alien life on Enceladus, study finds.

The ice-encrusted oceans of some of the moons orbiting Saturn and Jupiter are prime candidates in the search for extraterrestrial life.

Does a USB drive get heavier as you store more files on it? Nope. Paradoxically (and theoretically), the more you save on a flash drive, the lighter it gets. USB drives use Flash memory, which means the the ones and zeros of the data are stored on transistors.
When you save data, a binary zero is set by charging the float gate of the transistor, and a binary one is set by removing the charge. To charge it, we add electrons, and the mass of each electron is 0.00000000000000000000000000091 grams.
This means that an empty USB drive (which mostly holds zeros) weighs more than a full USB drive (which has ones and zeros). Add data, reduce the weight.
