Odd things happen inside planets, where familiar materials are subjected to extreme pressures and heat.

    So if we can produce this, can this have a practical use like in freezers/coolers. Or even in drinks? How cold is Ice XVIII and XIX?

      How cold is Ice XVIII and XIX?

      Up to 5000K at up to 200 GPa. So to answer your question:

      can this have a practical use like in freezers/coolers. Or even in drinks?

      No.

        You’d add one cube to cool down your tea and it’d blow up your house.

          It’s been a long day and somehow this comment really made me laugh. It’s so perfect and dumb. I love it.

      The benefit of ice in drinks is its coldness, not its solidness.

        But if your drinks aren’t chewy are you truly living?
