For the first time, scientists have observed one of these exotic phases: Plastic Ice VII. “Plastic phases are hybrid states ...

Water ice is a far more complex substance than we might assume. Scientists have now created an exotic new form of ice in the ...

While on Earth we mostly encounter the hexagonal, crystalline ice (like ice cubes, glaciers, snow), there are at least 20 other known ice phases, many of which have merely been theorised to exist in ...

An anglerfish has gone viral on social media after a team of researchers based in the Canary Islands on January 26th spotted ...

When it comes to layered quantum materials, current understanding only scratches the surface; so demonstrates a new study ...

High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

NWO Exact and Natural Sciences (ENW) has awarded a total of 17 project grants within the Open Competition ENW-M.

Water isn't just liquid, ice, or vapor — under extreme conditions, it can transform into exotic phases, such as the newly observed plastic ice VII. This hybrid phase, predicted years ago but only ...

Hugh O'Neill uses neutron beams at ORNL to study biological materials, potentially advancing biofuel production by ...

Hugh O'Neill conducts plant cell wall research as part of the DOE Solvent Disruption of Biomass and Biomembranes Science ...

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states – solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact many more phases, some of ...
