Abstract:
The dynamic behaviors of a new type of three-dimensional (3D) water framework symbiotic with 1D stacking organic guests, including an order-disorder transition of hydrogen atoms, a supercooling phenomenon during phase transition, and a dipole-glass-like relaxation behavior due to locally trapped water molecules, are presented. This extremely scarce 3D water framework, together with the rich dynamic behaviors it exhibits, provides new clues to design new ice-like models for promoting the fundamental understanding of the dynamic behavior of water in diverse solid-states.

Electric Dipoles and Dipole Moment
Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...

Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open....
