Plus, James Cameron hired a forensics team and some stunt performers to answer once and for all whether there was enough room for Jack on that door. And the podcaster who invented a new kind of

pasta is back again with two rare pasta types. Here's some cool stuff for your ride home.

Well, as a polar vortex plunges the northeastern U.S. into record-breaking wind chill temperatures

this weekend, I thought I'd cover a couple of chilly ice stories for you, plus one about

pasta to warm you up. So first, a team of scientists accidentally discovered a previously unknown form of ice, and it could exist

in other far-flung locations throughout the universe. So for some background to get us started,

I'm going to quote at length here from the New York Times, so I don't get this wrong.

Quote, in day-to-day life, we encounter three forms of water, a vaporous gas like steam,

flowing liquid water, and hard, slippery ice.

The ice of our everyday lives consists of water molecules lined up in a hexagonal pattern,

and those hexagonal lattices neatly stack on top of each other.

The hexagonal structure is not tightly packed, which is why ice is less dense than liquid water

and floats. With permutations of temperature and pressure outside what generally occurs on Earth,

water molecules can be pushed into other crystal structures.

Scientists now know of 20 crystalline forms of water. The 20th form of ice was discovered last year.

In addition, researchers also have documented two types of ice with jumbled molecules, what they

call amorphous materials. Because one of the amorphous is denser than water,
