A great success of solid state physics comes from the characterization of crystal structures in
the reciprocal (wave vector) space. The power of structural characterization in Fourier space …

Two or more liquid states may exist even for single-component substances, which is known
as liquid polymorphism, and the transition between them is called liquid–liquid transition …

The origin of water's anomalies has been a matter of long-standing debate. A two-state
model, dating back to Röntgen, relies on the dynamical coexistence of two types of local …

The broken symmetry in the atomic-scale ordering of glassy versus crystalline solids leads to
a daunting challenge to provide suitable metrics for describing the order within disorder …

Liquids can be broadly classified into two categories, fragile and strong ones, depending on
how their dynamical properties change with temperature. The dynamics of a strong liquid …

Supercooled liquids display sluggish dynamics, often attributed to their structural
characteristics, yet the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here we conduct numerical …

Water is the essential liquid on earth since it not only plays vital roles in living systems but
also has a significant impact on our daily life from various industrial applications to earth's …

The growing world population and increasing life expectancy are driving the need to
improve the quality of blood transfusion, organ transplantation, and preservation. Here, to …

Water displays a vast array of unique properties, known as water's anomalies, whose origin
remains subject to hot debate. Our aim in this article is to provide a unified microscopic …

Tetrahedral interactions describe the behavior of the most abundant and technologically
important materials on Earth, such as water, silicon, carbon, germanium, and countless …
