New research involving Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists shows that water can remain liquid in a metastable state when transitioning from liquid to a dense form of ice at higher ...

Dynamic compression studies have been used to study the nucleation kinetics of water to ice VII for decades. Diagnostics such as photon Doppler velocimetry, transmission loss, and imaging have been ...

Water can be dynamically over-compressed well into the stability field of ice VII. Whether water then transforms into ice VII, vitreous ice or a metastable novel crystalline phase remained uncertain.

If you've ever bought a can of compressed air to clean your computer or keyboard, you may have noticed the lengthy list of safety warnings on the back. That alarmist language isn't for nothing, ...

Researchers have created tiny bubbles in high-pressure water via intense focused lasers. Under these conditions, the bubbles expand at supersonic speed and push a shockwave consisting of a spherical ...
