At the heart of giant planets like Uranus and Neptune, water has astonishing properties, in a state called superionic.
The solar system's oddball planet has some pretty odd moons, too. The first infrared spectra of Uranus's small inner moons, which will be presented on 18 December at the 2025 AGU Annual Meeting in New ...

Scientists have discovered the potential existence of a bizarre new molecule related to water. Dubbed “aquodiium,” this ion could form under extreme conditions and may explain some of the weirdness of ...
Uranus is more interesting than previously thought, scientists have found. Everything scientists know about the distant world has been thrown into question after reviewing the only mission to venture ...
A study suggests the ice giants Uranus and Neptune aren't quite as watery as previously thought. They may also contain huge amounts of frozen methane, potentially solving the puzzle of how they formed ...
A new computer model can be used to detect and measure interior oceans on the ice covered moons of Uranus. The model works by analyzing orbital wobbles that would be visible from a passing spacecraft.
Do the moons of Uranus have interior liquid oceans like the moons of Jupiter and Saturn? This is what a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters hopes to address as a pair of researchers ...
We might finally understand what’s going on inside Uranus and Neptune, and the answer is pretty surprising: They may each contain an ocean of water. “We didn’t really know anything before,” about ...
Based on their models, the UZH astrophysicists concluded that the interiors of Uranus and Neptune could have a wide range of ...
