Scientists at University College London have created a new type of ice, called medium-density amorphous ice that matches the density and structure of water. This new discovery may lead to the ability to study water’s mysterious properties. The ice was created by shaking regular ice in a container with centimetre-wide stainless-steel balls at temperatures of –200 ˚C. The new form of ice could open up a new chapter in ice research and have implications for the potential habitability of liquid-water oceans on moons.

Study Suggests Isometric Exercises can Lower Blood Pressure and Promote Better Health
New research reveals that static exercises like planks and wall sits effectively lower blood pressure and provide a range of health benefits. These isometric exercises involve muscle contraction without changing muscle length. Conducting three weekly sessions of four two-minute bouts of isometric exercises reduces blood pressure akin to medication. These exercises also enhance heart health, […]
