Scientists Recreate Ice from Uranus and Neptune in Lab Experiment
Superionic ice—an exotic phase of water that exists simultaneously as a solid and a liquid with free-flying hydrogen atoms—has been successfully recreated in a laboratory setting. According to a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists used synchrotron X-rays and diamond-anvil cells to subject ultrapure water to temperatures reaching 4,274 degrees Fahrenheit (2,357 degrees … Read more
