Water, this seemingly ordinary molecule, continues to reveal unexpected properties. Scientists have simulated never-before-observed behavior, opening up new perspectives. The team from the University ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

What is Plastic Ice VII? Plastic Ice VII is a unique phase of water initially predicted through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations over 15 years ago. It combines the properties of both solids and ...

Human history is not governed by thermodynamic laws. Still, the vocabulary of metastability, tipping points, and critical ...
