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.
