- 1Scientists explain chemical diversity in Enceladus' ice grains▼How Enceladus' ocean spray becomes chemically diverse ice grains
New research explains how ocean spray from Saturn's moon Enceladus becomes chemically diverse ice grains. The moon's subsurface ocean erupts through cracks in its icy shell, and the study details the processes that give the ejected grains their varied chemistry, offering clues about the ocean's potential habitability.
- 2Ocean Spray deal brings Massachusetts cranberries to school lunches▼New Ocean Spray deal brings Mass. cranberries to K-12 schools
Ocean Spray has reached a new agreement to supply Massachusetts-grown cranberries to K-12 schools across the state. The deal aims to put local cranberry products on student lunch menus while supporting the state's cranberry growers. It connects Massachusetts' signature crop with school nutrition programs, giving farmers a new institutional market.
- 3Coastal storm salt buildup leaves over 20,000 without power in Hampton Roads●Over 20,000 without power in Hampton Roads due to salt buildup from coastal storm
More than 20,000 customers in Virginia's Hampton Roads region are without electricity after a coastal storm. Utility crews say salt buildup on equipment from wind-blown ocean spray is causing outages, a problem common when strong onshore winds coat power infrastructure with conductive salt. Restoration efforts are underway as residents in the affected coastal communities wait for power to be restored.
- 4How Enceladus' Ocean Spray Becomes Chemically Diverse Ice Grains▼How Enceladus’ Ocean Spray Becomes Chemically Diverse Ice Grains
New coverage explains how the spray of water escaping from Saturn's moon Enceladus turns into ice grains with varied chemical compositions. The moon's subsurface ocean vents material into space through cracks in its icy shell, and the process by which that spray freezes and diversifies chemically offers clues about the ocean's potential habitability.
