![Snowflakes indicate phases of super-cold ice](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-05/19-G00404_Tulk_PR_0.jpg?h=e4fbc3eb&itok=5fn8aUhP)
An ORNL-led team's observation of certain crystalline ice phases challenges accepted theories about super-cooled water and non-crystalline ice. Their findings, reported in the journal Nature, will also lead to better understanding of ice and its various phases found on other planets, moons and elsewhere in space.

After more than a year of operation at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the COHERENT experiment, using the world’s smallest neutrino detector, has found a big fingerprint of the elusive, electrically neutral particles that interact only weakly with matter.
