Tokyo - Researchers at The University of Tokyo discover that the two-body structural entropy is the key quantity to understanding the dynamics of sheared supercooled liquids and also the mechanism ...

Water is key to life on Earth and one of the most studied substances in the universe. Most of its properties are simple and familiar to us, but some are complex and somewhat baffling. The rest of this ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A “supercooled” liquid develops when a fluid does not crystallize upon cooling below its ordering temperature. Instead, the microscopic ...

The dynamics of supercooled liquid and glassy systems are usually studied within the Lagrangian representation, in which the positions and velocities of distinguishable interacting particles are ...

A paper by Kazan Federal University saw light in The Journal of Chemical Physics. The authors propose a new quantitative approach to better measure the crystal growth rate in supercooled liquids. The ...

RICHLAND, Wash.--Supercooled water is really two liquids in one. That's the conclusion reached by a research team at the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory after making ...

Water could exist in two different liquid phases with different densities. That is the conclusion of researchers in Sweden, Japan and Korea, who have used ultrafast X-ray scattering to measure the ...

Researchers have simulated supercooled liquids subjected to Couette shear flow. The rapid drop in viscosity under shear was related to the liquids' two-body structural entropy. The study showed that ...

First-ever measurements provide evidence that extremely cold supercooled water exists in two distinct structures that co-exist and vary in proportion dependent on temperature. Supercooled water is ...
