Scientists recently observed a form of ice that's never been seen before, after sandwiching water between two layers of an unusual two-dimensional material called graphene.
It's the latest surprise from the lab of a guy who's perhaps best known for levitating a frog in a magnetic field, even though it's his ground-breaking work with graphene that won him a Nobel prize.
