What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Scientists have created a new type of ice called \u201cmedium-density amorphous ice\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is <\/b>Amorphous Ice?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Amorphous ice consists of water molecules arranged in a disordered state, with no large-scale regularity to their orientations or positions. This kind of ice is most often found in space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Almost all ice in the universe is amorphous and in a form called low-density amorphous ice. This forms when water condenses onto dust grains in space. Comets are amorphous ice as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

How is Amorphous Ice different from Ordinary Ice?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ordinary ice is crystalline in nature, with water molecules \u2013 two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, or H2O \u2013 arranged in a regular pattern. Amorphous ice\u2019s water molecules are in a disorganized form resembling a liquid.<\/span><\/p>\n

R<\/span>esearchers employed a process called ball milling to vigorously shake ordinary ice together with steel balls in a container cooled to minus-328 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-200 degrees Celsius).<\/span><\/p>\n

This yielded what they called \u201cmedium-density amorphous ice,\u201d or MDA, which looked like a fine white powder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Significance of this discovery:<\/b> The key significance of the discovery of a new form of ice with a density similar to liquid water is that it could serve as an ideal model for understanding the properties of water without the complexities introduced by its fluid motion.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
