Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have shed light on the structure of supercritical water. In this state, which ...

When exposed to high temperatures and pressure, water enters a state in which liquid and gas can no longer be distinguished.

High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

Water is an essential part of life on Earth, and possibly elsewhere – and now it we know it may have formed not long after ...

Water is unique. It is one of the only ... It is also one of the only substances whose solid form is less dense than its liquid — this is why ice floats. Now scientists from the University ...
