Ice XXI” is an entirely new phase of ice with a crystal structure that’s more complex than the ice found on Titan or Ganymede ...

Massive volcanic eruptions billions of years ago may have made it snow on Mars, leaving thick buried ice near the planet’s ...

Water may appear simple but behaves in ways that surprise even the world’s greatest scientists. A new international study has ...

Scientists created this new phase of ice—known as Ice XXI—by supercompressing water to 20,000 times normal pressure in just ...

When scientists squeezed a drop of water between two diamonds to endure pressures tens of thousands of times higher than ...

Visual representation of the structure of low-density amorphous ice. Many tiny crystallites (white) are concealed in the amorphous material (blue). “Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as ...

Researchers at the European XFEL and DESY are investigating unusual forms of ice that can exist at room temperature when ...

Water frozen in the depths of space has long been considered a shapeless, frozen fog. For decades, scientists believed it formed without structure, too cold and still to grow orderly crystals. But a ...
