Researchers at the University of Arkansas have identified
that water, when chilled to a very low temperature, transforms into a new form
of liquid.
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.
