Inside the cores of ice giant planets, the pressure and temperature are so extreme that the water residing there transitions into a phase completely unfamiliar under natural conditions on Earth.

At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

An international team of over 60 scientists have successfully created 'extreme' superionic water and finally measured its ...

Findings Solve Decades-Old Mystery About What’s Inside Uranus And Neptune In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a strange form ...

Superionic water could be responsible for the peculiar magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune. Researchers have analyzed it ...

The 'superionic ice' can't make up its mind between being a solid or liquid.

Under extreme planetary conditions, water turns into a strange, electricity-conducting solid hidden deep inside giant planets.

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was predicted in the 1980s and first recreated in a laboratory in 2018. With each ...

An international research team led by scientists from the University of Rostock, CNRS-École polytechnique in France, and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf has discovered a previously unknown form ...

Scientists have confirmed a form of water that is simultaneously solid and liquid. It is the latest advance in the study of water, a seemingly simple substance that can shift between many different ...
