    Abstract
  • Ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune are numerous in the universe. Understanding the internal structure and local reaction processes of ice giants is of great significance for establishing a unified planetary evolution system. In recent decades, with the continuous development of simulation methods and experimental driving as well as diagnostic techniques, breakthroughs have been made in multiple physical problems related to the interior of ice giants, such as “superionic water” and “diamond rain”, which are no longer unpredictable. Starting from the physical issues related to ice giants, this article briefly introduces and discusses the theoretical and experimental research progress in high-pressure equations of state and microscopic physical processes under extreme conditions, as well as the development of related experimental platforms and supporting technologies. It also proposes prospects for the future direction of this field.
