The nucleation of crystals in liquids is one of nature's most ubiquitous phenomena, playing
an important role in areas such as climate change and the production of drugs. As the early …

How are water's material properties encoded within the structure of the water molecule? This
is pertinent to understanding Earth's living systems, its materials, its geochemistry and …

According to the traditional nucleation theory, crystals in solution nucleate under thermal
fluctuations with random crystal orientation. Thus, nanosheet arrays grown on a substrate …

We prepared bulk samples of supercooled liquid water under pressure by isochoric heating
of high-density amorphous ice to temperatures of 205±10 kelvin, using an infrared …

The hypothesis that water has a second critical point at deeply supercooled conditions was
formulated to provide a thermodynamically consistent interpretation of numerous …

The possible existence of a metastable liquid–liquid transition (LLT) and a corresponding
liquid–liquid critical point (LLCP) in supercooled liquid water remains a topic of much …

Water is one of the most important, yet least understood, liquids in nature. Many anomalous
properties of liquid water originate from its well-connected hydrogen bond network …

A new scientific frontier opened in 2009 with the start of operations of the world's first x-ray
free-electron laser (FEL), the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), at SLAC National …

Femtosecond x-ray laser pulses were used to probe micrometer-sized water droplets that
were cooled down to 227 kelvin in vacuum. Isothermal compressibility and correlation length …

Water is unique in its number of unusual, often called anomalous, properties. When hot it is
a normal simple liquid; however, close to ambient temperatures properties, such as the …
