The cold and remote planets originally earned their label of "ice giants" to contrast their interiors from those of Jupiter ...

For decades, school posters and science museum displays have grouped Uranus and Neptune together as “ice giants,” a tidy ...

Although they are technically gas giants, Uranus and Neptune are referred to as "ice giants" due to their composition.

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

New research suggests Uranus and Neptune may not be true ice giants, with rocky interiors dominating instead, challenging ...

New models suggest Uranus and Neptune may hold far more rock than expected, raising questions about how these distant planets formed.

A new study suggests that Uranus and Neptune may not be ice-rich planets after all. Researchers from the University of Zurich propose that these distant worlds could be dominated by rock, challenging ...

Ice giant planets such as Uranus and Neptune exhibit complex atmospheric dynamics that are critical to understanding planetary weather, chemistry, and long‐term climate evolution. Their atmospheres ...

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

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured bright aurora activity on Neptune for the first time. For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JSWT) has revealed bright auroral activity on the ...
