Hot Ice That Defies Melting: Scientists Spot Hexagonal Superionic Form Deep in Planetary Conditions
Researchers created hexagonal superionic ice stable at 2,357°C and over two million atmospheres of pressure. Oxygen forms a rigid lattice while protons flow freely. The finding refines models of Uranus and Neptune's interiors and their unusual magnetic fields.
Scientists discover a strange new form of ice that could help explain the interiors of Neptune and Uranus
Scientists have discovered that there is ice deep inside planets like Neptune and Uranus and want to find out what form it takes and how it behaves. They cannot dig for it and transport it all the way back to Earth, so they do the next best thing: recreate those extreme conditions in the lab.
Water is one of the most abundant and vital substances in the human world. We literally cannot function without its properties of almost ...
Scientists have observed a new form of ice that forms under extreme conditions. In the final stage of the experiment, the temperature reached a staggering 2,357 degrees Celsius. How is it possible that at such temperatures we're still talking about ice?
French physicists obtained a new form of ice under colossal pressure at more than 2,000 °C. This structure could exist in the heart of Uranus and Neptune.
For the first time, researchers have recorded a new crystallic phase of superinion ice — an abnormal state of water that is supposed to be hidden in the subsoils of Uranus and Neptune. The data obtained will allow a deeper understanding of the internal structure of these ice giants and the nature of their specific magnetic anomalies.
