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.

Probiotics vs Paraprobiotics
Probiotics: Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. These are typically found in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi. Probiotics contain beneficial bacteria strains such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Paraprobiotics: Paraprobiotics, on the other hand, are non-viable microbial cells or cell fractions of […]
