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 ...

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 Neptune ...

But water switches not yet designed for future upgrades may require the more accurate understanding of the phases of water discovered by the Sandia researchers.

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiment: Phase diagram and investigated thermodynamic paths. a: Experimental phase diagram of water in the investigated P-T region.

For summary: Condensation is a special phase transition. A phase transition occurs when some properties (in our case the density) of a particle ensemble (in our case an ensemble of water molecules) ...

Among the many discoveries on matter at high pressure that garnered him the Nobel Prize in 1946, scientist Percy Bridgman discovered five different crystalline forms of water ice, ushering in more ...

This scenario has important implications in our understanding of water crystallization. Figure 1: A new metastable ice phase and its role in the mW phase diagram.
