Deskripsi

Supercritical water exists in gas- and liquid-like forms, but these have not been distinguished yet at the macroscale. Here the authors investigate supercritical water interacting with microporous carbon by neutron imaging, and observe the coexistence of gas- and liquid-like states upon crossing the Widom line.
