What Does ASW Stand For?

ASW stands for Amorphous Solid Water

ASW, or Amorphous Solid Water, refers to a non-crystalline form of ice that lacks a long-range ordered structure. It exists at low temperatures and is formed when water vapor is rapidly cooled or when liquid water is subjected to high-pressure environments. ASW plays a significant role in various scientific fields, including atmospheric science, astrophysics, and materials science, particularly in understanding the behavior of water in extreme conditions and its implications for celestial bodies and potential extraterrestrial environments.
