Earth is a water-rich world. It is believed that water is crucial for supporting life. As astronomers peered deeper into space they discovered more and more water. In fact, everywhere we looked we found water. In most of these cases, the water is found not in the form of a liquid but either as a gas, on the surface of the sun and in vast clouds surrounding quasars, and as a solid, harder than rock on the likes of Pluto forming vast mountain ranges. New experiments reveal that water can behave in very strange ways at both ends of this spectrum, one end with ice behaving like a liquid and the other superheated gas behaving like a crystalline solid. Let's dive in and find out more.
