SUMMARY:Liquid Water: New Results in Bulk\, Nanoconfined\, and Biological E
	nvironments
DESCRIPTION:Featuring HE Stanley\, Boston University\nHosted by: William Kl
	ein\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//posters/2008_Fall/04_Stanley.p
	df\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nAbstract: This ta
	lk will introduce some of the 63 anomalies of the most complex of liquids\,
	 water.  We will demonstrate some recent progress in understanding these an
	omalies by combining information provided by recent experiments and simulat
	ions on water in bulk\, nanoconfined\, and biological environments.  We wil
	l interpret evidence from recent experiments designed to test the hypothesi
	s that liquid water may display "polymorphism" in that it can exist in two 
	different phases --; and discuss recent work on water's transport anomalies
	1 as well as the unusual behavior of water in biological environments2.  Fi
	nally\, we will discuss how the general concept of liquid polymorphism3 is 
	proving useful in understanding anomalies in other liquids\, such as silico
	n\, silica\, and carbon\, as well as metallic glasses\, which have in commo
	n that they are characterized by two characteristic length scales in their 
	interactions.\n\n1 P. Kumar\, S. V. Buldyrev\, S. L. Becker\, P. H. Poole\,
