When it gets cold enough, but hasn’t frozen, water organizes itself in two ways with very different densities, and we’re starting to understand how they differ.
Supercooled water is when water droplets exist as a liquid at temperatures below freezing. This phenomenon is actually very common in our atmosphere as supercooled water droplets exist in most ...
In 1992, researchers first proposed that water may have a liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) below the supercooled point ...
Science Doesn't Understand How Ice Forms. Season 10 Episode 6 | 10m 31s Video has Closed Captions | CC. This video contains incredible macro footage of supercooled water droplets nucleating ice.
We learn in grade school that water freezes at zero degrees Celsius, but that’s seldom true. In clouds, scientists have found supercooled water droplets as chilly as minus 40 C, and in a lab in 2014, ...
From dark matter to climate science, supercooled water can play a crucial role. A study published Thursday in "Science" explains why it remains a stable liquid.
Water’s structure evolves smoothly as it cools from ambient temperature to cryogenic levels, according to the experts. At temperatures slightly below 200 K (approximately –73 ºC), the structure of ...
To properly assess the conditions, we look for supercooled water droplets below 3,000 feet. We know the air needs to be close to saturation — full of moisture — and temperatures have to be ...
