Physicists have discovered a new form of ice, something they say redefines the properties of water at high pressures. A team of scientists working in the Nevada Extreme Conditions Lab at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, pioneered a new method for measuring the properties of water under high pressure, according to a recent report from the university.
