Message in a Bubble: Physics Enables Encoding of Messages in Ice

Scientists Use Bubbles To Encode And Store Messages In Ice And Read Them Back From Photographs

The team was inspired by bubbles trapped in Antarctic ice, revealing information about our climate hundreds of thousands of years in the past.

Morse code messages can be trapped in bubbles within blocks of ice

Assigning certain sizes, shapes and positions of bubbles to characters within Morse and binary codes means messages could be stored in ice

Message in a bubble: Physics enables encoding of messages in ice

Inspired by naturally occurring air bubbles in glaciers, researchers have developed a method to encode messages in ice.

Bubbles In Ice Could Be A Future Medium For Secret Codes

Scholars have developed a method to encode binary and Morse code messages in ice. A 'message in a bubble' has limited practical utility, information storage in Antarctica and the Arctic is expensive but less challenging than storing message in ice, but they are more covert than paper documents and can easily be carried.

Cracking the Code: Using Physics to Encode Messages in Ice

In a groundbreaking development that bridges the fields of physical chemistry, materials science, and information technology, researchers have unveiled an innovative approach to encoding messages within ice by precisely manipulating trapped air bubbles. Drawing inspiration from the natural formations of air bubbles in glaciers, this novel technique employs the controlled formation and arrangement of bubbles in frozen water to store data in binar…
