Supercooling

Supercooling, also known as undercooling, is the process of lowering the temperature of a liquid below its freezing point without it becoming a solid. Per the established international definition, sup

Phases of ice

Variations in pressure and temperature give rise to different phases of ice, which have varying properties and molecular geometries. Currently, twenty-two crystalline phases have been observed, includ

…non-crystalline) solid. Its glass transition temperature is much colder and harder to determine, but studies estimate it at about 136 K (−137 °C; −215 °F). Glassy water can be heated up to approximately 150 K (−123 °C; −190 °F) without nucleation occurring. In the range of temperatures between 150 and 231 K (−123 and…
