Researchers at the University of Osaka use an AI framework to compare 16 descriptors of water’s local structure in the supercooled regime, training on molecular dynamics data to identify which descriptors best distinguish high-density and low-density water structures as temperature varies, aiding understanding of water’s unusual thermodynamics.
Researchers using ultrafast X-ray lasers uncovered a hidden liquid-liquid critical point in supercooled water around -63°C at high pressure, where two liquid forms merge and trigger fluctuations that persist to everyday conditions, potentially explaining water’s unusual properties and its essential role for life.
Researchers have studied the microstructure and crystal order during the freezing of supercooled water drops. They used optical imaging and X-ray scattering data to analyze the process. The study provides insights into the rates of ice nucleation and the formation of different ice structures. The data and codes used in the study are available for further research.
