Abstract
The structural versatility of solid water has been reinforced by the identification of a metastable, crystalline phase called ice XII (ref. 1). It was obtained by cooling liquid water to 260 K at a pressure of 0.55 GPa. We have found ice XII in a completely different region of water's phase diagram and show that it can be formed under different conditions from those previously reported1.
