"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, according to a new study by scientists at UCL (University College London) and ...

Winter storms often bring the threat of ice accumulation, creating dangerous conditions for both driving and walking. One of ...

For astronomers, probing the mysteries of “space ice”—its molecular makeup and how it formed—could be the key to understanding not just extraterrestrial geology but also the potential for alien life.

“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. Reading time 2 minutes For something so common to our daily lives, there ...

Scientists from UCL and the University of Cambridge have revealed that "space ice"—long thought to be completely disordered—is actually sprinkled with tiny crystals, changing our fundamental ...

Scientists have created a new phase of ice that can form at room temperature. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Nature Materials, the new phase, dubbed XXI, requires extreme levels ...

In the dog days of summer, popping a tray of water into the freezer to make ice cubes may seem mundane. But at the smallest scales, we still don’t know a lot about how freezing unfolds. Now, the first ...

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 ...
