Figure 8

Water’s density (D) anomalies are correlated with shifts in Density of State (DoS) populations. (left) Same energy ladders as in Figure 6. (top right) Increasing temperature leads to shifting populations from ice-like on the left to vapor-like on the right. (bottom right) Heating a simple material drives it from solid (high density) to liquid (slightly lower density) to gas (very low density). Heating water drives it from ice (low density) to cold water (higher density) to hot water (lower density) to gas (very low density).
