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 ...

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

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