In a nutshell Glass bottles don’t just break because water expands when it freezes. The real culprit is a trapped liquid ...

Despite decades of research efforts and debate, a full understanding of the origin of the anomalous properties of liquid water, in particular when supercooled, is not yet in sight. This focus ...

While water can start freezing at 0 °C, it is possible for liquid water to get ‘supercooled’ to subzero temperatures. Freezing needs to start somewhere, and the start of the phase transition can be ...

One of several such unusual characteristics has prompted decades of research to understand water's unique behavior, particularly in the supercooled regime. However, studying the liquid-liquid ...

Despite the absence of consensus on a theory of the transition from supercooled liquids to glasses, the experimental observations suggest that a detail-independent theory should exist. It should ...

Have you ever seen the science experiment (or magic trick?) where you get water supercooled to where it isn’t frozen, but then it freezes when you touch it, pour it, or otherwise disturb it?
