Water's hidden critical point revealed by ultrafast lasers

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.

Decoding the Enigma of Freezing Water Drops and Rain Formation

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.
