20. London scientists develop amorphous ice of medium density
Scientists at University College London have recently developed a new type of ice that matches the density and composition of water. Is. Snow is called medium-density amorphous ice. To produce the new version, it was produced by regular stirring of ice in a small container with centimeter-wide stainless steel balls at a temperature of -200 °C. Snow appears as a white granular powder that has stuck to the metal sphere. When water freezes, its molecules crystallize and form the hexagonal, solid structure known as ice. Ice is less dense than its liquid form, which is unusual behavior for crystals. Water can also freeze in many other regular systems, depending on conditions such as pressure and freezing. However, amorphous ice is different because it has no such order. Therefore this study can help in studying the mysterious properties of water.
