A few years ago, scientists discovered a vast ocean hidden hundreds of miles beneath the Earth's surface. Researchers claim that this underground ocean is three times larger than all the oceans on ...

In ice, however, water molecules are locked into a rigid crystal lattice. This fixed structure suppresses their ability for molecular vibrations and thereby alters their absorption features.

Scientists placed liquid water under extreme pressure and ... that though the molecules maintained a crystalline structure like that of ice at more pedestrian temperatures and pressures, the ...

Plastic ice VII was originally predicted more than 15 years ago by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations as a phase of water that could ... in an ordered crystalline structure, have lost the ability ...
