A new form of ice that acts as both a liquid and a solid simultaneously has been proven to exist years after it was theorized ...

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

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

Water is ubiquitous and seemingly ordinary, possessing no distinct color or odor. Though we often take water for granted, it is by no means a simple substance. As a consequence of its chemical ...

In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states—solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact ...

Scientists observe plastic ice, a rare hybrid of solid and liquid, forming under extreme conditions, revealing planetary ...

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 ...

When salt and ice are added to an empty aluminum can and mixed together, the can becomes very cold, and frost begins to form on the outside of it very quickly. As water freezes, the attractions the ...

Each water molecule can donate two of these bonds—one from each hydrogen atom—and accept two of them from other, neighboring molecules. Unlike in ice, these bonds are broken and re-formed on ...

Snow is made up of trillions of tiny ice crystals to make snowflakes, with not one alike. Here's how they form.
