00:00Solid ice flows like liquid inside ice giant planets right now.
00:04Extreme pressure traps oxygen atoms inside a rigid lattice,
00:09while hydrogen protons stream freely.
00:11The National Ignition Facility fires massive lasers
00:15to crush water drops into this exotic phase.
00:18Free-floating protons conduct electrical current across planetary cores,
00:23generating bizarre magnetic dipole fields.
00:26Quantum tunneling accelerates hydrogen ion mobility,
00:30driving dynamo action within deep icy mantles.
