A team of researchers inspired by naturally occurring bubbles trapped in ice has come up with a novel way of using human-made bubbles to encode messages – and store those messages inside ice. Ice ...

In the bitter cold of the Arctic and Antarctica, bubbles could become the ideal way to send messages. Communicating in these regions is easier said than done, as the extreme sub-zero temperatures ...

Information could potentially be stored in ice for millennia, simply by making subtle changes to the shape and position of internal bubbles, which can then be converted into binary or Morse codes.
