It has long been puzzling that water nanodroplet undergoes simultaneously “supercooling” at freezing and “superheating” at melting. Recent progress [Sun et al., J Phys Chem Lett 2013, 4: 2565; ibid, 4: 3238] enables us to resolve this anomaly from the perspective of hydrogen bond (O:H-O) specific-he...
