World’s most powerful X-ray laser reveals unusual ice forms at room temperature
SMRTR summary
Scientists created a new form of ice called ice XXI by rapidly compressing water to extreme pressures at room temperature using the world's most powerful X-ray laser at the European XFEL facility. This discovery reveals that water has more complex crystallization pathways than previously understood, potentially providing insights into the composition of icy moons and exoplanets.
