For the first time in history, scientists are able to generate hot "superionic ice" that's unlike any other type of ice on Earth. This bizarre ice is so alien that it's not even naturally occurring on ...

The ice could explain the mysterious magnetic fields belonging to icy worlds. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists just ...

Water can take on far more forms than many people give it credit for, and now scientists have recreated a particularly bizarre one in the lab – a “hot black ice” that may exist deep inside planets ...

Most of us are familiar with water in three forms: as a vapor, a liquid, or a cold, opaque hunk you clink into your drink. But water actually exhibits numerous phases of existence depending on its ...

American physicist Percy Bridgman was the first to discover five solid water phases in 1912 and we now know of more than 17 crystalline and several amorphous ice structures. This unique behaviour of ...

Water can assume an astonishing array of conformations. It can be a liquid, vapor, or different kinds of solids. Scientists have now been able to create a form of ice known as superionic ice bay ...

Scientists have predicted a new phase of superionic ice, a special form of ice that could exist on Uranus and Neptune, in a theoretical study performed by a team of researchers. Scientists have ...

May 9 (UPI) --Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory successfully imaged the structure of superionic ice using giant lasers. Shockwaves produced by the laser caused the water to ...

Ordinary everyday ice, like the ice produced by a fridge, is known to scientists as hexagonal ice (ice Ih), and is not the only crystalline phase of water. More than 20 different phases are possible.

An artist's impression of how the laser shockwaves turned water on top of a diamond surface into a superionic hot ice substance. Millot, Coppari, Hamel, Krauss (LLNL) Hot ice that can remain frozen at ...
