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 ...

Models for the interior structures of the ice-giant planets Uranus and Neptune have two distinct, intermediate layers: an upper, water-rich convecting layer where disorganized magnetic fields are ...

Using computer modeling, chemists from MIPT and Skoltech (the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology) have found out which molecules may be present in the interiors of Uranus, Neptune, and the ...

Scientists have helped solve the mystery of what lies beneath the surface of Neptune – the most distant planet in our solar system. A new study sheds light on the chemical make-up of the planet, which ...

Uranus and Neptune may be hiding slushy hailstones called mushballs deep inside them. These huge clumps of water and ammonia may explain why there is so little ammonia higher up in the ice giants’ ...

Contrary to common assumptions, the two outermost planets in the solar system might be rocky rather than icy: Uranus and Neptune would then not be ice giants, but rock giants. This is suggested by a ...
