Simulations and experiments indicate that the low-density amorphous ice found on comets and icy moons is not, in fact, ...

Long thought to be completely disordered, space ice appears to have some crystallized regions, new research suggests.

Findings may have wide-ranging implications, from the origins of life to the characterisation of technological glasses ...

It's known that ice can 'remember' its previous structure; specifically, the order in which its hydrogen atoms have been arranged while in a crystalline state. That order can be retained even as ...

Scientists had assumed that the ice in space was purely amorphous, but new experiments show it can have a partly crystalline structure similar to ice on Earth.

The ice in our freezers usually comes in one form, with its water molecules arranged hexagonally—which is why snowflakes always have six points. But up to 20 different variations of ice exist in ...

As the crystals form and grow upon the tiny particles inside the cloud, building upon the lattice-like structure of the water molecules, they gain weight and mass.

One had a crystal structure of two sodium chloride molecules for every 17 water molecules. That one formed at a temperature of about minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit and a pressure of 5,000 times the ...
