New research claims that Neptune and Uranus may hold hidden oceans of water and other materials below their extreme atmospheres.

Uranus and Neptune have long been a source of fascination and mystery for scientists, especially when it comes to their magnetic fields. While Earth and Jupiter boast well-defined magnetic dipoles, the fields of Uranus and Neptune appear skewed,

A planetary scientist proposes that the interiors of Uranus and Neptune are layered, with deep oceans of water above compressed carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen.

A scientist simulated the contents of the ice giant worlds, and found that a fluid layer may explain each planet’s strange magnetic field.

When NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft made its way to outer regions of the solar system in the late 80's, it noticed something odd. Both of the ice giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, lacked what's known as a "dipole magnetic field." This was in stark contrast to our own rocky world, as well as the two gas giants Jupitar and Saturn.

New research at UC Berkeley offers a fresh perspective on Uranus and Neptune's interiors, indicating layered structures of water and hydrocarbons. These findings account for the planets' unusual magne

Dramatic theories have been proposed to explain the mysterious interiors of Uranus and Neptune, the ice giants of our solar system.

Uranus and Neptune are unique but superficially bland ice giants in our solar system. Planetary scientists have devised two proposals for what lies

We might finally understand what’s going on inside Uranus and Neptune, and the answer is pretty surprising: They may each contain an ocean of water. “We didn’t really know anything before,” about their interiors,
