Previously predicted by theoretical models, we now have the first experimental observation of plastic Ice VII.

The study has been published in Nature. Unlike regular ice, plastic Ice VII requires extreme conditions to form.

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

An international team of scientists has experimentally observed an unusual form of ice that could naturally occur on distant ...
