Hot water is more hot than boiling water

Turning water into ice in just a few nanoseconds (1 nanosecond = 1 millionth of a second) is not a big deal compared to experimenting to create " hot " ice over boiling water that has been done with a Z machine. giant (pictured) at Sandia National Laboratory in the United States. Machine Z once set a record when creating hotter temperatures than the Sun.

According to researcher Daniel Dolan, normally when compressed, water will heat up. However, in extreme compression conditions, water is more likely to reach solid state (ice) than to maintain a liquid state. It is well known that most objects are shrunk when exposed to cold temperatures and therefore less space. But normal ice occupies more area than water.

However, in the experiment, the water capacity was suddenly shrunk and discontinuous - like the process of forming most ice types known to scientists, except for normal ice. Extremely fast compression process under pressure of about 70,000 atmosphere makes water freeze in off. And when taken out of this extremely hot environment, ice begins to melt.
