Inside the Ice Giants of Space: Scientists Reconstruct Physical Processes on a Small Scale – SciTechDaily

By reconstructing on a small scale the physical processes that take place within ice giant planets, such as Uranus and Neptune, a new method of computer simulation allows to shed light on their present structure and past evolution. The research has been publi…

In this research, the scholars have analysed the conduction of electricity and heat of water under extreme temperature and pressure conditions, such as those that occur inside ice-giant planets as well as in many exo-planets outside of it. Investigating the phenomena that occur under their surface, in fact, is key to understand the evolution of these celestial bodies, to establish their age, and to shed light onto the geometry and evolution of their magnetic fields.
