What is Amorphous Ice?

We’ve told you water is weirder than you think, and that there are potentially over 70,000 different forms of ice. But there’s something we haven’t told you about yet… amorphous ice, a weird, glassy, unusual and, well, amorphous form of ice. It’s found on icy moons and comets and maybe even in your cocktail shaker… if you’re making industrial strength cocktails! Follow us on a journey through water, ice, and maybe even some superionic structures.

The disordered hyperuniformity found in some types of amorphous ice is also found in chicken retinas! Yeah, they wouldn’t let me talk about chicken eyeballs in the video, but they can’t keep weird science out of the comments!

Cool I love the weird and wacky stuff that’s found in this world(No thanks to when I would go spend the weekends with my Great-Grandmother in St. Augustine, Florida where she would sometimes take me to the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum. And I learned that before the Museum came to St. Augustine. The building was once a Hotel that Robert Ripley himself stayed in, and because he loved the Historic City of St. Augustine so much, his first Museum that was opened in Florida was there in St. Augustine. And in one of the exhibits, is what looks to be a scene of a fire in a hotel, and one of the guests is in this bathtub. Well turns out that Hotel fire scene was actually apart of the Hotel’s history that Robert Ripley stayed at while in St. Augustine and which would later become his Museum. Well the reason why that exhibit is included is because after the first was put out, while surveying the damaged, firefighters found the bathtub with the woman’s body inside of it. And the reason why is because the woman’s body wasn’t touched by the flames despite the bathroom she was in was directly above the hottest part of the fire. The reason her body wasn’t touch was in an effort to survive the flames, the woman thought that covering herself in soaking wet towels would protect her from the heat of the flames until the firefighters could either put the fire out or rescue her. But instead she died of CO2 poisoning from the smoke, and her wet towels simply kept the flames from reacher her body.

Crazy to think there might be whole oceans of superionic ice on planets somewhere in the universe. Like there's speculation that those new forms of ice might explain the weird magnetic fields on Uranus and Neptune.

I love stuff like this because it shows how even something as common and seemingly simple as water reveals more complexity the deeper we examine it. Hadn't realized before that cryoEM uses amorphous ice to avoid the damage caused by crystalline ice. Thanks for the new knowledge Dr. Dainis! Also those are some nICE earrings 😁

@AlexDainisPhD Жыл бұрын

I wish I had filmed the making of the chart because it started out well then took a deep turn and then I was like "I'll just paint over it!" and started mixing random paints to get different colors and honestly in the end it looked pretty intentional!
