An international team of scientists has experimentally observed an unusual form of ice that could naturally occur on distant ...

Previously predicted by theoretical models, we now have the first experimental observation of plastic Ice VII. That might ...

Water ice is a far more complex substance than we might assume. Scientists have now created an exotic new form of ice in the ...

High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

Water isn't just liquid, ice, or vapor — under extreme conditions, it can transform into exotic phases, such as the newly observed plastic ice VII. This hybrid phase, predicted years ago but only ...

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states—solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact ...

Scientists observe plastic ice, a rare hybrid of solid and liquid, forming under extreme conditions, revealing planetary ...

One of those theorized in the 2000s was Ice VII, otherwise known as Plastic Ice. At the time, it wasn’t possible to create the precise conditions required for such a theoretical state of matter ...

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states – solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact many more phases, some of which – predicted to exist at high temperature ...
