A team of physicists recently discovered a new phase of water ice, after they put ordinary ice under extraordinarily high pressure and melted it before letting it refreeze. The previously unknown ...

Science can do almost anything these days — including apparently creating a new type of ice. Which, for the record, is approximately the plot of Kurt Vonnegut’s 1971 novel “Cat’s Cradle.” A new paper ...

Computer simulations show that cubic and hexagonal ices nucleate through the formation of a tetragonal metastable ice phase. Moreover, the authors find that for the mW model the melting curve of ice 0 ...
