TL;DR: Moore and Molinero as discussed by the authors showed that a sharp increase in the fraction of four-coordinated molecules in supercooled liquid water explains its anomalous thermodynamics and also controls the rate and mechanism of ice formation.

TL;DR: In this article, a coarse-grained model of water (mW) was developed, which is essentially an atom with tetrahedrality intermediate between carbon and silicon, and mimics the hydrogen-bonded structure of water through the introduction of a nonbond angular dependent term.

TL;DR: The properties of hydrated Nafion polyelectrolyte are attributed to its nanophase-segregre... as mentioned in this paper, which is widely used in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells due to its high proton conductivity.

TL;DR: Most recent potential energy functions, which include explicit short-range representations of two-body and three-body effects along with a physically correct description of many- body effects at all distances, predict the properties of water from the gas to the condensed phase with unprecedented accuracy, thus opening the door to the long-sought “universal model” capable of describing the behavior of water under different conditions and in different environments.
