New computer simulations predict a quasi-1D superionic carbon-hydrogen phase inside Uranus and Neptune, where hydrogen atoms navigate spiral pathways through an ordered carbon lattice under 500–3,000 GPa and 4,000–6,000 K, potentially altering heat and electrical transport and helping explain the planets’ unusual magnetic fields.
Scientists predict a quasi-one-dimensional superionic carbon–hydrogen phase under the extreme pressures and temperatures inside Uranus and Neptune, with hydrogen moving along helical pathways within an ordered carbon lattice. This could affect heat and electricity transport, influence magnetic field interpretation, and expand understanding of matter at high pressures relevant to planetary interiors and materials science.
Quantum simulations aided by machine learning uncover a carbon-hydride phase inside Uranus and Neptune in which hydrogen moves along helical channels within a rigid lattice, forming a quasi-1D superionic state that could influence heat, electricity, and the planets’ unusual magnetic fields.
