«Breaking News» 'Supercooled' bottles of water INSTANTLY turn rock hard when banged on a table

Incredible footage has emerged of liquid water turning into solid ice in the blink of an eye.

Roderick Koop, from Anchor Point, Alaska, found two bottles of water in his loft that had not frozen, despite temperatures plunging to lows of -8°F (-22°C).

Mr Koop picked up the bottles and found that the liquid inside instantly crystalised before his eyes.

That's because liquids can remain fluid below their freezing temperatures if they are completely pure, cooled slowly and left untouched.

Under these conditions they lack the energy needed to start the process that causes ice crystals to form. 

When Mr Koop disturbed the contents of the bottle, the shock wave he created gave the water inside the energy it needed to kick start that reaction. 

The 60-year-old found two unopened bottles of water in his loft which had been left over from last summer and hadn't frozen.

He stumbled across the remarkable effect of thermodynamics when he knocked one over and watched it ice over upon hitting the floor.  

The Alaskan native decided to see if the same thing would happen with the second bottle. 

After reaching for his camera he smacked the bottle and watched the ice form.   

He said: 'I have never seen anything like this before. It was -8 degrees so I thought it was odd that the water hadn't frozen over yet

'I figured there had to be a scientific explanation. I had no idea what the heck I had just witnessed when the bottle fell and thought, "what just happened?"

'It was fun to see and I've really enjoyed sharing it with others too.'

Supercooling is a phenomena that exploits a flaw with the process of state transformations - the transition from one form to another, such as a solid to a liquid. 

Two unopened bottles of water left in sub-zero temperatures during Alaskan winter unveils of one the incredible quirks of physical science. The water was 'supercooled' below freezing (left) and, when hit on a table, froze solid almost instantly (right)

A process called nucleation forms the first ice crystals in the water and, form here, the liquid turns into a solid.   

Impurities in the liquid such as salt, ions or dirt allow this to happen. 

If these are not present, it is much harder for this to take place. 

Liquid then remains a fluid despite temperatures exceeding the required freezing temperature.  

WHAT IS 'SUPERCOOLING'?

Under normal conditions, a liquid has a fixed melting point and a boiling point. 

A melting point is the temperature that forms the boundary between two states of matter; solid and liquid. 

This transition is called a transformation.  

If this temperature is exceeded it is a liquid and if it is not reached it remains a solid. 

A boiling point is the same situation between liquid and gas. 

Other common forms of matter transformations include condensation and sublimation. 

These are from gas-to-liquid and solid-to-gas, respectively. 

Supercooling, however, exploits a quirk in the thermodynamic properties of a liquid. 

A liquid can considerably surpass its freezing (melting) point without becoming a solid. 

It centres around delaying the onset of a process called nucleation, which initiates crystallisation of a liquid into a solid. 

This is the first step towards transforming into a new state of matter.  

If, however, the liquid is extremely pure and absent of any impurities the crystals can not form. 

This allows a liquid to be cooled all the way down to its homogeneous crystallisation temperature. 

This is where no impurities are needed and the liquid will create its own nucleation sites and freeze.  

Liquids cooled below the maximum heterogeneous nucleation temperature (melting temperature), but which are above the homogeneous nucleation temperature (pure substance freezing temperature) are called supercooled. 

If an ice cube is then added, salt (or other impurities) is added or it is given a firm hit the particles will jolt and almost immediately nucleate and subsequently freeze solid. 

An example of supercooling occurs when pure water freezes at −42°C rather than at its freezing temperature of 0°C. 

So, if cooled slowly below the freezing point, pure water may remain liquid (supercooled).

This is often exemplified with bottled water.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
