![]() The molecules maximize their intermolecular distance by adjusting at different heights with respect to the two walls.Īt low T a discontinuous change in ρ is observed for, where the parameters v 0 and are explained in the Methods section, as it would be expected in correspondence of the HDL-LDL phase transition. Atomistic simulations 7 show that water under these conditions does not crystallize, but arranges in a disordered liquid layer, whose projection on one of the surfaces has square symmetry, with each water molecule having four nearest neighbors (n.n.). Here, to analyze the thermodynamic properties of water in confinement we consider a water monolayer between hydrophobic walls of area L 2 separated by h ≈ 0.5 nm ( Fig. Alternative ideas and their differences, have been discussed 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 and it has been debated if experiments on confined water in the “no man's land” can be a way to test these ideas 2, motivating several theoretical works 43. The presence of a LLPT is experimentally observed in other systems 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, consistent with theoretical models fitted to water experimental data 22, 23, 24 and is recovered by simulations of a number of models of water 11, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and other anomalous liquids 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37. found, by molecular dynamics simulations of supercooled water, a liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP), in the “no mans land”, at the end of a first–order liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) line between two metastable liquids phases with different density ρ: the high-density liquid (HDL) at higher T and P and the low-density liquid (LDL) at lower T and P 11. Nevertheless, new kind of experiments 9, 10 and numerical simulations 11 can access this region, revealing interesting phenomena in the metastable state. At these temperatures T and pressures P experiments cannot probe liquid water in the bulk, because water freezes faster then the minimum observation time of usual techniques, resulting in an experimental “no man's land” 8. Nanoconfinement, both in hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials, can keep water in the liquid phase at temperatures as low as 130 K at ambient pressure 2. The confinement of water in quasi-one or two dimensions (2D) is leading to the discovery of new and controversial phenomena in experiments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and simulations 4, 6, 7. The study of nanoconfined water is of great interest for applications in nanotechnology and nanoscience 1. We shed light on these findings showing that they are a consequence of the strong cooperativity and the low coordination number of the hydrogen bond network that characterizes water. This result is drastically different from what is reported for simple liquids, where the crossover occurs for and is consistent with experimental results and atomistic simulations. for a monolayer thickness that is small compared to its extension. Surprisingly, by reducing the linear size L of the walls, keeping the walls separation h constant, we find a 2D-3D crossover for the universality class of the liquid-liquid critical point for, i.e. We show, by studying the response functions and the correlation length and by performing finite-size scaling of the appropriate order parameter, that at low temperature the monolayer undergoes a liquid-liquid phase transition ending in a critical point in the universality class of the two-dimensional (2D) Ising model. We investigate, by simulations of a many-body coarse-grained water model, how the properties of the liquid are affected by the confinement. Here, we consider a water monolayer nanoconfined between hydrophobic parallel walls under conditions that prevent its crystallization. I think the idea for this mobile app is amazing and I can’t wait to see what will be done with going forwards.The properties of water can have a strong dependence on the confinement. These were just 3 things I wanted to talk about. ![]() Going along with this, it would also be nice to check the rarity list from the mobile app. Currently it is not possible to check this in on the app. I am not sure how to word this but I am talking about how you can see the information of each skin or cosmetic in the game (e.g. The other topic I would like to discuss here is about finding the information about skins on the game. ![]() This is a fairly simple fix in my opinion, so if they would work on this I feel it would bring more meaning to the app. It asks you to press “G” to trade but of course this is mobile band there is no g key. Currently it is not possible to trade on mobile in a trading server. With that being said, there are two things I want to comment on that I feel could use fixing or implementing. It is nice to be able to load the game from my phone. ![]() Overall, I think the app is useful and serves its purpose. ![]()
