Stability of high-temperature salty ice suggests electrolyte permeability in water-rich exoplanet icy mantles
Hot cubic ice is shown to retain dissolved salt in its lattice, suggesting the mantle of water-rich exoplanets is more permeable to electrolytes than assumed, which has implications on its properties and on the element cycles inside such planets.
