The discovery of this hydrate at icy worlds should indicate regions where subsurface brines have rapidly frozen, which will be of interest to upcoming missions like @EuropaClipper and @ESA_JUICE π°οΈ.

πͺI am very excited to share our new paper, led by .@RachaelHamp.!. In this work we announce the discovery of a new dihydrate of sodium chloride, produced by rapid freezing of brine, that could exist at icy worlds π§βοΈπ. @OU_STEM @Astrobiology_OU .

Sodium chloride (NaCl) plays an important role in geochemistry, biology, industry, and food production, and it is among the most common salts in the solar system. Here, we report the discovery of a...

βοΈπ§New paper alert!! π§βοΈ. Led by @ArolaMoreras, we explore how molecular biosignatures are accumulated, transported and transformed by sub-zero brines and salts in the Arctic. It was a pleasure to work on this with such a great international team!. #astrobiology #arctic.

π§βοΈNew paper!βοΈπ¨οΈ. Led by @SalzmannLab, we consider whether stacking disordered ice could exist across the #solarsystem . What *is* stacking disordered ice? And why could it be important for planetary processes? Read on!. Was a pleasure to work on this!.
