Scientists have discovered a new form of water called "plastic ice VII" that exists under extreme pressures and temperatures, ...

When exposed to high temperatures and pressure, water enters a state in which liquid and gas can no longer be distinguished.

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have shed light on the structure of supercritical water. In this state, which ...

Water is unique. It is one of the only ... It is also one of the only substances whose solid form is less dense than its liquid — this is why ice floats. Now scientists from the University ...

and frost begins to form on the outside of it very quickly. As water freezes, the attractions the water molecules have for one another overcome their motion and hold them in fixed positions. Water ...

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

Under normal conditions, water exists in three phases: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (vapour ... out in the alien world, a different form of water, called plastic ice VII might be present.
