Scientists create a new form of ice with ball milling. 

This is very interesting, but be careful with forms of ice that are not lighter than water.

If it gives off heat and can be submerged underwater, it might be an interesting basis for an aquatic-based technology on another planet. Go scifi!

Ooh, yes. So solid, without the crystalline bonds ... no triboluminescence from bonds breaking, which makes things VERY interesting. Could probably force continual luminescence under the right pressure.
