There's a type of ice that doesn't melt, and it's called "superionic ice." This unique form of ice exists under extreme pressure and high temperatures found in the cores of certain planets. Unlike regular ice, superionic ice maintains a solid structure while allowing its hydrogen ions to move freely, creating a bizarre combination of solidity and fluidity. Scientists believe understanding superionic ice can provide insights into the interior compositions of celestial bodies like Uranus and Neptune. #brightside #shorts Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

00:00 - Superionic ice may be one of the most abundant forms of water in the universe.
00:06 This ice can be found in planets such as Uranus and Neptune, lurking deep within their mantles.
00:12 But it only forms under extreme pressure.
00:14 Now imagine something over 3 million times Earth's standard atmospheric pressure.
00:19 Oh, and it also only melts at extremely high temperatures as well.
00:25 Superionic ice could never exist in a stable form on our planet, but scientists managed
00:30 to recreate it in a lab a few years ago.
00:32 Oh, by the way, between the ice produced by our fridges and superionic ice, there are
00:38 over 20 different crystalline phases possible.
00:41 What makes this one so special is that some oxygen molecules can move around, like electrons
00:47 move through metal.
00:49 But can you make ice cream out of it?
