Researchers have uncovered evidence that Uranus and Neptune could be far rockier on the inside than anyone expected.

For decades, Uranus and Neptune have carried the tidy label of “ice giants,” shorthand for worlds built mostly from frozen ...

Uranus and Neptune have been called the “ice giants” for decades. But in new research, that nickname might be more a misnomer than anything. A study by the lead researchers astrophysicists Luca Morf ...

We actually know very little about what's going on inside Uranus and Neptune, causing researchers to propose that these planets be called "rocky giants" instead. When you purchase through links on our ...

Uranus and Neptune may not be the icy worlds we’ve long imagined. A new Swiss-led study uses innovative hybrid modeling to reveal that these planets could just as easily be dominated by rock as by ...

Our fundamental understanding of Neptune and Uranus may be completely wrong, say researchers rethinking our solar system.

Fresh simulations show there is a chance Uranus and Neptune might actually be rock-rich worlds wrapped in thinner icy layers.
