The notion of asymmetrical Hydrogen Bond (O: HO) Cooperativity and Polarizability (HBCP)
has enabled exploration of the core physics behind irregularities of water and ice …

Water in nanoscale cavities is ubiquitous and of central importance to everyday phenomena
in geology and biology. However, the properties of nanoscale water can be substantially …

We present recent progress in understanding the anomalous behavior of water ice under
mechanical compression, thermal excitation, and molecular undercoordination (with fewer …

Despite relevance to disparate areas such as cloud microphysics and tribology, major gaps
in the understanding of the structures and phase transitions of low-dimensional water ice …

Homogeneous ice nucleation from supercooled water was studied in the temperature range
of 220–240 K through combining the forward flux sampling method (Allen et al., J. Chem …

Organisms that thrive at cold temperatures produce ice-binding proteins to manage the
nucleation and growth of ice. Bacterial ice-nucleating proteins (INP) are typically large and …

Hyperactive insect antifreeze proteins and bacterial ice-nucleating proteins are arguably the
most potent ice-binding molecules in nature. These highly effective proteins bind ice through …

Icosahedral quasicrystals (IQCs) are a form of matter that is ordered but not periodic in any
direction. All reported IQCs are intermetallic compounds and either of face-centred …

As with bulk ices, two-dimensional (2D) ices exhibit diverse crystalline structures, and the
majority of these 2D structures have been predicted based on classical molecular dynamics …

Conspectus Understanding phase behavior of highly confined water, ice, amorphous ice,
and clathrate hydrates (or gas hydrates), not only enriches our view of phase transitions and …
