Perpetual 'ice-water' solid-liquid state revealed in gallium nanoparticles

摘要

Imagine placing ice cubes into a glass of water and having the ice cubes remain unchanged and in the same state for hours, even under intense heat or freezing conditions. This is similar to a surprising discovery made by an international team that included researchers from the University of Western Australia, Duke University (US), the Institute of Nanotechnology (Bari, Italy), Linz University (Austria) and the University of Melbourne and published in Nature Materials (doi: 10.1038/nmat4705).
