'Liquid-liquid' phase transition: Researchers identify transformation in low-temperature water

'Liquid-liquid' phase transition: Researchers identify transformation in low-temperature water; Through a simulation performed in "supercooled" water, a research team led by chemist Feng "Seymour" Wang, confirmed a "liquid-liquid" phase transition at 207 Kelvins, or 87 degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit scale.
The properties of supercooled water are important for understanding basic processes during cryoprotection, which is the preservation of tissue or cells by liquid nitrogen so they can be thawed without damaged...
