The Sandia theoretical work showed that phase boundaries for “metallic water” — water with its electrons able to migrate like a metal’s — should be lowered from 7,000 to 4,000 kelvin and ...

Supercomputer simulations by Sandia researchers have significantly altered the theoretical diagram universally used by scientists to understand the characteristics of water at extreme temperatures ...

Figure 1: A new metastable ice phase and its role in the mW phase diagram. In a previous study of the crystallization of mW water at zero pressure, an intermediate phase, called intermediate ice ...

The paper, by Y. Huang at Dalian University of Technology in Dalian, China, and colleagues was titled, 'A new phase diagram of water under negative pressure: The rise of the lowest-density ...

When water is trapped in narrow, nanoscale cavities, it enters an intermediate phase that is neither solid nor liquid, but somewhere in between. This is the finding of an international team of ...
