Water ice is abundant on Earth, being one of the most widespread solids on the planet. Given water's importance to life, and ice's importance to the Earth's climate, we have also studied the hell out of it.

"Despite the ongoing interest and large body of knowledge on ice, new phases and anomalous properties continue to be discovered , suggesting that our understanding of this ubiquitous material is incomplete," researchers from the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) explain in their new study.

One thing we do know about ice in its
