While NASA proposes a mission to Neptune's moon, Triton, which could have an ocean capable of supporting life, researchers believe Neptune and Uranus are composed "primarily" of a strange form of ...

Researchers are investigating an alien version of water inside the strange, icy interiors of Uranus and Neptune. In a new study, scientists have devised a theoretical computer model and used it to ...

Astronomers have long predicted that deep beneath Neptune’s thick blue clouds lies a super-hot body of water that, despite its high temperature, never boils because of its incredibly high-pressure ...

A new computational model suggests that Uranus' and Neptune's cores may be less icy than their "ice giant" nickname suggests.

A study suggests the ice giants Uranus and Neptune aren't quite as watery as previously thought. They may also contain huge amounts of frozen methane, potentially solving the puzzle of how they formed ...

An international group of physicists has drawn up plans to use the new Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research in Germany to expose water molecules to heavy ion beams and generate the same level of ...

Scientists have confirmed the existence of superionic ice water—water that occupies a simultaneously liquid and solid state. Though it doesn't exist anywhere on Earth as far as we know, it's possible ...

Eureka! Astronomers say they’ve discovered clear skies and water vapor on a Neptune-sized exoplanet named HAT-P-11b -- which, at roughly four times the Earth’s radius, is the smallest planet yet known ...
