Sentences with phrase «in superionic»

Visualization of molecular dynamics simulations showing the fast diffusion of hydrogen ions (pink trajectories) within the solid lattice of oxygen in superionic ice.

Hydrogen ions in superionic water ice can carry electrical charge, making it good at conducting electricity and generating magnetic fields.

Unlike water or regular ice, in superionic ice the water molecules dissociate into charged atoms called ions, with the oxygen ions locked in a solid lattice, while the hydrogen ions move like the molecules in a liquid.
