MeerKAT pins repeating radio bursts to the giant planet Beta Pictoris b

The team used distant quasars as fixed reference points to separate the planet's signal from its star's, then read a magnetic field of at least 1,250 gauss off the emission. The preprint has not been peer reviewed.

X-ray diffraction finds superionic ice stacking its oxygen atoms hexagonally above 200 gigapascals

A CEA-led team heated water ice past 1,800 kelvin between two diamonds and watched its oxygen atoms restack into a hexagonal lattice that takes over from the cubic phase above 200 gigapascals.
