Could the hidden seas of icy moons occasionally boil beneath kilometers of ice? Recent modeling suggests that, given just the right orbital and geological conditions, subsurface oceans on small outer ...

A new study on the discovery was published in the journal Physical Review Fluids. Phase changes in water are well understood by most; heating ice (solid) makes water (liquid), and heating water ...

Water can exist in three phases: a frozen solid, a liquid, and a gas. When heat is applied to a frozen solid, it becomes a liquid. When applied to the liquid, it becomes vapor. This elementary ...

Scientists have been able to recreate the extreme conditions found on icy moons in deep space - and revealed the unstable behaviour of water. In the near-zero pressure environment of space, water ...

Scientists have made a discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to a phenomenon established over two centuries ago. The discovery also holds interesting ...
