Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

Phase diagrams chart the temperatures and pressures at which substances transition between different states. This simplified phase diagram outlines the conditions under which water molecules transform ...

Findings Solve Decades-Old Mystery About What’s Inside Uranus And Neptune In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a strange form ...

Researchers have investigated the non-equilibrium phase behavior of localized liquid-liquid phase separations (LLPS). The ...

For years, researchers have provided contradictory evidence about the “premelting film” of ice, its thickness and whether it ...

At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts electricity. This unusual form is believed to shape the magnetic fields of ...

The experiments revealing plastic ice VII were performed using the time-of-flight spectrometers IN5 and IN6-SHARP at the ILL. Temperatures as high as 450—600 K and pressures from 0.1 to 6 GPa (up to ...
