Scientists Create a New Form of Ice at More Than 2000°C
Under crushing pressures of millions of atmospheres, this expansion is stymied. Its oxygen atoms remain fixed in a rigid crystal lattice, as they would in a solid. There are some twenty-something known phases of water ice, a few of which become superionic under extreme conditions.

Scientists Create a New Form of Ice at More Than 2,000 °C Physics09 September 2026By Michelle Starr Add ScienceAlert on Google If just considered as a liquid, water is extremely weird. (José Manuel Suárez/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY 2.0) Water is one of the most commonplace, essential substances in the human world.We literally can't function without its properties as a near-universal solvent. It falls from the sky. We bathe in it, drink it, and immerse ourselves in it for fun. if ('undefined' !== typeof window.tmntag && 'undefined' !== typeof window.tmntag.cmd) { tmntag.cmd.push(function () { tmntag.adTag('Purch_Y_C_0_1', false); }); } But if just considered as a liquid, water is extremely weird, behaving in ways completely at odds with other liquids. It becomes less dense when it freezes.
