Better model of water under extreme conditions could aid understanding of Earth’s mantle. Deep inside the Earth exist pockets of water, but the liquid there isn’t like the water on the surface. When exposed to unimaginably high temperatures and pressures, water exhibits all sorts of weird phases and properties, from remaining a liquid at temperatures 10 times higher than the boiling point to existing as a liquid and a solid at the same time.
