“Manifestations of metastable criticality in the long-range structure of model water glasses” is published in Nature Communications Categories News Author ms87 Read the full paper: here Link to the journal site: here Much attention has been devoted to water’s metastable phase behavior, including polyamorphism (multiple amorphous solid phases), and the hypothesized liquid-liquid transition and associated critical point. However, the possible relationship between these phenomena remains incompletely understood. Using molecular dynamics simulations of the realistic TIP4P/2005 model, … Continue Reading “Manifestations of metastable criticality in the long-range structure of model water glasses” is published in Nature Communications
