within Earth's solid inner core, and hot, black, heavy ice – that's both solid and liquid at the same time – likely forms within the water-rich gas giants,Then just last year, researchers at several universities in the United States and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center laboratory in California discovered a new phase of superionic ice.
Successive shockwaves raised the pressure to 200 GPa and temperatures up to about 5,000 K – hotter than the temperatures of the 2019 experiments, but at lower pressures. X-ray diffraction then revealed the hot, dense ice's crystal structure, despite the pressure and temperature conditions only being maintained for a fraction of a second.
If more of a Neptune-like ice giant's insides were taken up by a mushy solid, and less of by a swirling liquid, then it wouldNeptune might contain, then the magnetic field generated by the outer liquid layer would interact with each of them differently, making things stranger still.

They found that almost all the ice shelves on the western side of Antarctica experienced ice loss.
