Despite decades of research efforts and debate, a full understanding of the origin of the anomalous properties of liquid water, in particular when supercooled, is not yet in sight. This focus ...

However, a new experimental study suggests that normal behaviour returns if the water is supercooled to low enough temperatures. Among the many unusual properties of water, the most famous is ...

A team led by Francesco Paesani, Kurt Shuler Faculty Scholar and professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at ...

One of several such unusual characteristics has prompted decades of research to understand water's unique behavior, particularly in the supercooled regime. However, studying the liquid-liquid phase ...

A pretty rare phenomenon was seen over Western Washington on Wednesday and several KIRO 7 viewers sent us photos.

Are snow-producing clouds an airframe icing risk? The short answer is yes, which might surprise pilots who fly under ...

Gently open the lid of your super cooled bottle of water. Slowly pour it onto the ice in the bowl. The bottle you banged against the wall should rapidly become one large ice block. You should be ...

Snowflakes are present, and the magic happens when supercooled water droplets — water that remains liquid even though it’s below freezing — are in the surrounding air. As these supercooled ...

Hail is formed when very strong thunderstorm updrafts meet supercooled water droplets. Supercooled water droplets are liquid water drops that are surrounded by air that is below freezing ...

For most of the winter, low clouds in our sky are full of air containing supercooled water vapor. This means the tiny water droplets are in liquid form despite actually being below freezing.
