Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as previously assumed, a completely disordered material like liquid water, ...

This new Goldilocks version of amorphous ice is right in the middle, almost exactly matching liquid water's density, researchers explained in a new study published in the journal Science on Feb. 2.

Odd properties of water and ice explained: Water exists as two different liquids ... Diffusive dynamics during the high-to-low density transition in amorphous ice. PNAS, June 26, 2017 DOI: 10.1073 ...

To find the loosely structured, Goldilocks-density ice, the team shook ordinary water ice in a jar crammed with steel balls, cooled to about -376 degrees Fahrenheit (-200 Celsius.) ...

A new form of ice could have the lowest density for frozen water ever discovered, beating a previous record by being 25 percent less dense. If scientists successfully synthesize the proposed ice, it ...

"Ice in the rest of the universe has long been considered a snapshot of liquid water – that is, a disordered arrangement ...

The team found that ball-milling created a novel amorphous form of ice, which unlike all other known ices, had a density similar to that of liquid water and whose state resembled water in solid ...

Under these conditions, water exhibits exotic, high-density ice phases. The outer planets of our solar system, Uranus and Neptune, are water-rich gas giants. These planets have extreme pressures 2 ...

Compressing regular ice at extremely cold temperatures created the first amorphous ice with a higher density than water in the 1980s. But the new ice is different: It has a density of 1.06 grams ...
