Supercritical water

Direct observation of supercritical fluid water using Bassett-type hydrothermal diamond anvil cell. Temperature (red numbers shown above right) was increased under the constant volume. Pressure, therefore, increased with increasing temperature. Liquid water and vapor became supercritical fluid at around 373 degC and 22 MPa (~critical point of pure H2O). Playback speed x5 faster.

It's interesting that just before it goes supercritical, you can see it radiating bubbles similar to the pattern that charges follow in magnetic field. Has ionized water aligned itself into a bipolar magnet configuration at that point?

@jdw99

interesting point of view!

@kenmibe If you find out it's true, just give me a little credit when you get the Nobel prize :)

@jdw99

Maybe, we should collaborate, and will share the Nobel prize!

@kenmibe I wish I could, but I'm no scientist, I'm just a nerd who likes to read about science. I couldn't really wrap my head around integral calculus, so I went into computer programming instead :)

OK. I really appreciate your comment.
