Caption The phase diagram shows the state of water (H2O) under very high pressure (X-axis) and temperature conditions (Y-axis). These conditions apply in the interior of the ice planets Uranus and ...
Water can exist in two liquid states under extreme conditions, reshaping our understanding of its molecular behavior.
A team led by Francesco Paesani, Kurt Shuler Faculty Scholar and professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at ...
The difficulty stems from what researchers call "no man's" land, a region in water's phase diagram where liquid water typically crystallizes instantly into ice before measurements can be made.
