Water-hydrogen demixing occurs on warm sub-Neptunes with envelope metallicities of 150-700 times solar, including TOI-270 d, implying layered interiors and underestimated bulk metallicities when using fully-miscible models.

An intercomparison of planetary evolution codes finds Earth magma oceans solidify in about 4 million years while Venus scenarios show more varied prolonged stages up to 50 million years, with outcomes sensitive to initial volatile budgets and model-specific treatments.
Hydrogen-silicate miscibility stores hydrogen in sub-Neptune interiors, resupplies escaping envelopes, delays contraction, matches young-planet observations, and enables a population test requiring 70-100 targets under 100 Myr.

Testing the prevalence of hydrogen-silicate miscibility in young sub-Neptunes
Hydrogen-silicate miscibility stores hydrogen in sub-Neptune interiors, resupplies escaping envelopes, delays contraction, matches young-planet observations, and enables a population test requiring 70-100 targets under 100 Myr.
