Same water, new ice

 

I knew there were a couple of different kinds of ice that can form depending on temperature and pressure.

But hey, here's another one.

Alien slush? Scientists create an entirely new type of ICE that neither floats nor sinks – and could be a clue to life beyond Earth

"The new form of ice is amorphous, which means that unlike ordinary crystalline ice - in which the molecules arrange themselves in a regular pattern - its molecules are in a disorganised form and resemble a liquid."

Professor Christoph Salzmann said "'We know of 20 crystalline forms of ice, but only two main types of amorphous ice have previously been discovered, known as high-density and low-density amorphous ices."

And I will point out, the regular form of ice is important, too.
