Ever wonder what goes on inside a drop of water?
Why does water change shape?
Why does it freeze at certain temperatures?
Why does it evaporate at other temperatures?
Researchers from the University of Birmingham and Sapienza University of Rome have solved the mystery that has been shrouded in mystery for 30 years. They discovered the unique nature of water that was first proposed three decades ago. It was discovered that water changes into two different liquids due to a special phenomenon called phase transition. However, it was concluded that this happens at very cold temperatures.
Does water turn into solid ice at low temperatures?
Yes At low temperatures, water turns into solid ice. However, this remains the biggest challenge in validating the theory that has baffled scientists for nearly 30 years. Scientists say the liquid-liquid transition is difficult to detect because it is still not known why it happens because of hidden chemical processes inside the water. The results of this study were published in the journal Nature Physics. The above process is the main characteristic of water. The scientists concluded that this is due to the anomalous behaviour of its thermodynamic response functions upon cooling when it has a maximum density at ambient pressure. Scientists used a water friction model for this research. Sciortino, who led the research, said the research aims to see what happens inside the water, to discover the movements and chemistry taking place at the molecular level, which can be further analyzed.
