Though you will find it in every refrigerator in the world, ice is a material so strange that it breaks almost every rule in our textbooks. Yet its very familiarity makes us take it and its properties completely for granted. In this demonstration lecture, coinciding with the centenary of X-ray diffraction, Professor Andrea Sella will explore how we know about its properties, how it compares with other ices, and the way in which ice may be the canary warning us that our futures may be much less certain than we imagine.
