Thermodynamic and structural anomalies of water nanodroplets

Nanoscale water droplets can remain liquid far below the homogenous nucleation temperature, at which bulk cooled water inevitably crystallizes. Malek et al. show that water in nanodroplets as small as a few hundred molecules reproduce the thermodynamic anomalies of bulk water.
