The possible existence of a liquid-liquid critical point in deeply supercooled water has been a subject of debate in part due to the challenges associated with providing definitive experimental evidence. Pioneering work by Mishima and…
The structural, electronic, and spectroscopic properties of a high-pressure phase of methane hydrate (MH-III) are studied by first principles electronic structure calculations. A detailed analysis of the atomic positions suggests that {\it…

We examine ice crystal growth from water vapor at temperatures near the melting point, when surface premelting creates a quasiliquid layer at the solid/vapor interface. Recent ice growth measurements as a function of vapor supersaturation…
Supercooled water exhibits a breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation between the diffusion constant $D$ and the alpha relaxation time $\tau_{\alpha}$. For water simulated with the TIP5P and ST2 potentials, we find that the temperature of…

One of water's unsolved puzzles is the question of what determines the lowest temperature to which it can be cooled before freezing to ice. The supercooled liquid has been probed experimentally to near the homogeneous nucleation temperature…

The process of formation for an ice crystal with elaborate, symmetrical patterns from the water vapor is usually complicated and the corresponding mechanism is still not clear. Here, we experimentally constructed the 3D tubular ice crystals…
Since Key Comparison CCT-K2, only few comparisons on realizations of cryogenic fixed points have been carried out, be they bilateral (three, of which one still pending) or multilateral (two trilateral). Since a forthcoming general follow-up…
