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 ...
Earlier this week we broke down the complexities of mixed-phase precipitation forecasting.Within that we briefly touched on a key component to that complexity w ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A groundbreaking University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa study on the freezing of water droplets suspended in air sheds light on a key ...
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.
