Scientists Observe Rare Plastic Ice, A Hybrid Form of Ice and Water, Under Extreme Pressure and Heat
Researchers have observed plastic ice, a phase where water molecules rotate while staying in a solid structure. The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa and Titan's interiors and could influence nu...

What’s It Like to Be on Venus or Pluto? We Studied Their Sand Dunes and Found Some Clues
A new study has explained how sand dunes can provide insight into weather and conditions one might experience while standing on a far-off planetary body. For dunes to exist, planets should pass a pair of “Goldilocks” criteria. The presence of such dunes on Venus, Earth, Mars, Titan, Triton (Neptune’s largest moon) and Pluto have given new hop...
