We all know that when water freezes, it crystallises.
Its molecules gets arranged in the familiar hexagonal solid structure that we call ICE.
Though it is a crystal, ice has an unusual property for a crystal.
Unlike the other crystals which sink in water, ice floats.
Ice is less denser than its liquid water form.
Amorphous ice is different.
This ice is not in crystalline form.
This ice appeared as a white granular powder that sticks to metal pieces.
This ice matches the structure and density of water.
The ice is formed when regular ice is shook in the small container with the stainless steel balls at the temperature of - 200 degree Celsius.
