New experiments and computer simulations on how water behaves when it is supercooled are poised to rekindle long-standing debates. X-ray scattering measurements of liquid water down to ...

a general theory can only be semiquantitatively compared with experiment. Figure 1: Temperature-dependent effective activation energy of several supercooled liquids (see equation (1)) in units of ...

You can instantly freeze an entire bottle of water. Grant Thompson put together this awesome video to explain how its done. The secret is supercooling the water first. To supercool something ...

water is one of the most difficult liquids to model. For that reason, the researchers instead used argon and krypton in liquid form in their experiments. In fact, supercooled noble-gas liquids are ...

With kids home from school due to the Arctic air, parents may be looking for ideas that don't involve leaving the house.

Similarly, supercooled liquids are not quite solid, in the sense that their fundamental particles do not stick to a lattice pattern with long-range order, but they are also not ordinary liquids ...

Have you ever seen the science experiment (or magic trick?) where you get water supercooled to where it isn’t frozen, but then it freezes when you touch it, pour it, or otherwise disturb it?

We have also used the "Magi-pad" by NHK. The pack may be reused many times by heating it in hot water to melt the solution. Eventually, however, it becomes impossible to keep the solution supercooled.
