Summary

That water can exist in two distinct 'glassy' forms: low- and high-density amorphous ice, may provide the key to understanding some of the puzzling characteristics of cold and supercooled water, of which the glassy solids are more viscous counterparts. Recent experimental and theoretical studies of both liquid and glassy water are now starting to offer the prospect of a coherent picture of the unusual properties of this ubiquitous substance.
