Tiny Crystals Hidden in Cosmic Ice Could Rewrite What We Know About Water and Life
Scientists have uncovered a hidden structure inside the Universe’s most common ice—found on comets, moons, and interstellar dust—challenging decades of belief. What was thought to be shapeless, “amorphous” ice is actually embedded with tiny crystals, each about the width of a DNA strand. These crystals could reshape how we understand the formation of planets, the [...]
