Scientists have uncovered a more complex atomic arrangement in superionic water, a form that likely powers the magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune. This exotic state emerges under extreme pressures and temperatures, conducting electricity like a partial liquid within a solid framework. The discovery, from lab experiments mimicking planetary interiors, challenges prior models and refines understanding of ice giants.
