A weird ice that may form on alien planets has finally been observed
High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.
This Ice Rotates Like Liquid but Stays Solid – Here’s How
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 ...

The first experimental observation of an exotic phase of water: Plastic ice VII
The work has been published in Nature. 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 ...
