A key aspect of the study was the deployment of density functional theory (DFT), a method derived from quantum mechanics and used in solid-state physics to resolve complex crystalline structures. Researchers used density functional theory to study the mechanical properties of superionic ice, or i
A recent study published in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests that Earth's deep mantle likely harbors hydrous minerals that are in an extreme phase of water known as "superionic [...]
If the new state of matter of ice-19 was present in the cores of alien worlds, it would generate a magnetic field that would create life.
Scientists from two US universities have created a weird form of ice from a method that uses high pressure rather than low temperature.
To create superionic ice, the scientists compressed water between two diamonds, the hardest substance on Earth, simulating the tremendous pressure seen at the planet's core.
