This experiment hoped to identify at what conditions superionic water would reshuffle itself from a body-centered cubic (BCC) packing structure—where the oxygen molecules are packed with 68% ...

Under extreme planetary conditions, water turns into a strange, electricity-conducting solid hidden deep inside giant planets.

A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Gold ...
