A new low for nano ice

Nanoparticles of frozen water melt at drastically lower temperatures than water in bulk

A block of ice melts at 0Ë Celsius. But chip a few molecules off that ice block and they will begin to melt at a much lower temperature — almost 180 degrees cooler.

COLD CLUSTERS Nanoclusters of water show a steady increase in internal energy relative to temperature that matches that of bulk ice at low temperatures.
