The proposed project seeks to undertake a research program, combining theoretical and computational approaches, to unravel topological features of liquid-liquid phase transitions (LLPTs) in network liquids, in both molecular and colloidal scales, and nucleation phenomena where relevant. The use of topological concepts will provide a deeper understanding of the LLPT phenomenon and of its physical origin, independent of the size of the constituent units, spanning atomic, molecular and colloidal scales. Understanding the hydrogen-bond network of water - the most important liquid for our existence - will be central to this research and critical to transforming our understanding of the world around us.

拟议的项目旨在实施研究计划，将理论和计算方法结合起来，以分子和胶体尺度以及相关的核量表中的网络液体中液态液相变（LLPT）的拓扑特征（LLPT）。拓扑概念的使用将为LLPT现象及其物理起源提供更深入的理解，与组成单元的大小无关，跨越原子，分子和胶体尺度。了解水的氢键网络（我们生存的最重要液体）对于这项研究至关重要，对于改变我们周围世界的理解至关重要。
