> last I checked, protons have extremely strong bonds to the nucleus

according to the article:

> The oxygen atoms form a cubic lattice, but the hydrogen atoms spill free, flowing like a liquid through the rigid cage of oxygens

Hydrogen consists of a nucleus of just one proton.

> I feel [electrical resistance] should be extremely high

electrical resistance measures the opposition to a flow of current, whereas electrical reactance measures the opposition to a change in current.

If you are thinking about momentum, do you mean reactance?

I wonder if heavy water would also be able to turn into this form of ice. Would a nucleus of one proton and one neutron more through the lattice with the same ease? Would heavy superionic ice conduct electricity as well?
