The deep interiors of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune may contain a previously unknown form of matter, based on new computational research by Carnegie scientists Cong Liu and Ronald Cohen.

Models for the interior structures of the ice-giant planets Uranus and Neptune have two distinct, intermediate layers: an upper, water-rich convecting layer where disorganized magnetic fields are ...

Scientists have identified a new "superionic" state of carbon and hydrogen that may exist deep inside Uranus and Neptune.

Deep inside the distant planets Uranus and Neptune, matter may exist in a bizarre form unlike anything we experience on Earth ...

Sophisticated models predict that a quasi-one-dimensional superionic state of carbon hydride exists under the extreme pressures and temperatures found deep inside Neptune and Uranus. (Nanowerk News) ...

Deep inside Uranus and Neptune, scientists have identified signs of an unusual state of matter unlike anything observed under ...

Illustration of the predicted hexagonal carbon hydride compound under Neptune-like interior conditions. In this structure, carbon forms the outer spiral chains (yellow) and hydrogen forms the inner ...
