Something like a slushie can kind of be considered a new phase of water. So, we know that water is a liquid and ice is solid, but now there's another phase of water between liquid and solid, if you're at the right temperatures and pressures.
In 1992, scientists proposed this phase as lower density ice. But in 2022, they finally showed that lower density ice, or high density water, is its own phase. It transitions from water to slushie to ice to slushie to water. And at that midpoint molecules are more loosely linked together than ice but tighter than water.
They look more like a knot or linked rings compared to the crystal structure of ice. So really dense, really cold water can be more liquid than ice and more solid than water, like a slushie
