Ice XXI: Room-Temp Ice Phase Found by X-ray Laser
What is Ice XXI and why it matters Scientists have identified a remarkable new phase of water ice, dubbed Ice XXI, which forms at room temperature under extreme pressure. This discovery adds to the long list of ice polymorphs that arise when H2O is subjected to unusual conditions. While everyday ice is known as ice…

Ice XXI: Room-Temperature Ice Phase Revealed by X-ray Laser
Unveiling a New Ice Phase Water, the staple of life and many a science demo, still has surprises left in its crystal structure. In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers using the world’s largest X-ray laser discovered a new solid form of ice that can exist at room temperature but only under extreme pressure. Named Ice XXI,…

Ice XXI: A Room-Temperature Ice Phase Revealed by an X-Ray Laser Experiment
What is Ice XXI and why it matters Ice XXI is a newly discovered phase of water that challenges our conventional understanding of ice. Unlike the familiar ice I that forms in freezers and ice cubes, Ice XXI arises under extreme conditions where pressure and rapid dynamic changes influence water’s solid state. This unexpected phase…
