Without dust particles, the temperature can get even lower before the water turns to ice. In a more recent study, scientists showed how the temperature at which water freezes can be changed using electric charges. In these experiments, water exposed to a positive charge froze at higher temperatures than water exposed to a negative charge.
Lubomirsky, who worked on the experiment, works at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. Charge depends on tiny particles called electrons and protons.
These particles, together with particles called neutrons, make up atoms, which are the building blocks of all matter. An electron is a negative charge and a proton is a positive charge.
In atoms with the same number of protons as electrons, the positive and negative charges cancel each other out and make the atom act like it has no charge. Water already has its own kind of charge. The atoms bond together by sharing their electrons. Your email address is used only to let the recipient know who sent the email.

Simulations provide clue to missing planets mystery 1 hour ago. As more ice melts, more heat is absorbed, bringing the temperature down even lower. This is great news if you want to make ice cream and don't have a freezer.
If you put the ingredients in a bag and place the bag in a bucket of salted ice, the drop in temperature will give you a frozen treat in next to no time!
