Dielectric ordering of water molecules arranged in a dipolar lattice

Dielectric ordering of water molecules arranged in a dipolar lattice

Despite the apparent simplicity of a H2O molecule, the mutual ferroelectric ordering of the molecules is unresolved. Here, the authors realize a macroscopic ferroelectric phase transition in a network of dipole-dipole coupled water molecules located in nanopores of gemstone.
