Two newly discovered forms of salt ice could change how scientists think about icy moons and planets completely.
Researchers have discovered two new forms of salt ice that could change the fundamentals of chemistry forever. That’s quite a bold claim, I know, but based on the research showcased in a new paper featured in the, these two previously undiscovered forms of salt ice are going to shake things up quite a bit.
But, with the discovery of these two new forms of salt ice, that mystery could become a learning opportunity. According to the research, when subjected to higher pressures and lower temperatures than are found on Earth, the atoms in hydrated sodium chloride – a fancy name for salt water ice – will arrange themselves in structures unlike anything scientists had previously discovered.
The belief is that these two strange forms of salt ice could be the basis of the mysteriously watery ice that covers moons like Europa. Further, by studying the conditions needed to make this kind of salt water ice, scientists may be able to tell more about the atmospheres of planets and moons that are covered with this kind of material.
