New porous water ice metastable at atmospheric pressure obtained by emptying a hydrogen-filled ice

The properties of some forms of water ice reserve still intriguing surprises. Besides the several stable or metastable phases of pure ice, solid mixtures of water with gases are precursors of other ices, as in some cases they may be emptied, leaving a metastable hydrogen-bound water structure. We pr...
