At high temperatures, typical of the subsoil of such planets, formed the exotic molecule and macromolecule polymers.
In the depths of Uranus and Neptune, as scientists suggested, can form exotic molecules such as compounds of carbonic acid and ortogonal acid (“acid of Hitler”).
To such conclusion chemists from the SKOLKOVO Institute of science and technology after simulated on computers the contents of Uranus and Neptune.
The study was conducted under the leadership Oganova, together with Gabriel Saleh. The authors of the project used developed a powerful algorithm for predicting the structure of crystals and chemical compounds – USPEX (Universal Structure Predictor: Evolutionary Xtallography). Scientists believe that the cores of Uranus and Neptune are covered with a layer of crystals of carbonic acid, than from contact with pripoverkhnostnyi the oceans of this planet.
