The phase diagram shows the state of water (H2O) under very high pressure (X-axis) and temperature conditions (Y-axis). These conditions apply in the interior of the ice planets Uranus and Neptune ...

In recent years, researchers have discovered so many funky forms of ice — over 18 in all — that it’s hard to keep track. Now, they’ve hit on a new phase of water that could explain how icy ...

By Alexandra Larkin October 28, 2021 / 8:02 PM EDT / CBS News Scientists have discovered a new phase of water — adding to liquid, solid and gas — know as "superionic ice." ...

Previously this 18th phase of water, which scientists refer to as “superionic ice,” had only appeared for a brief moment in the lab; offering a tantalizing glimpse of the unique form of matter.

Plastic ice VII was originally predicted more than 15 years ago by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations as a phase of water that could exist under high temperature and pressure.
