Observation of Plastic Ice VII by Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering - Nature
Abstract Water is the third most abundant molecule in the universe and a key component in the interiors of icy moons, giant planets, and Uranus- and Neptune-like exoplanets1–3. Owing to its distinct molecular structure and flexible hydrogen bonds that readily adapt to a wide range of pressures and temperatures, water forms numerous crystalline and amorphous phases4–6.
Why Trump Will Lose Ohio
It is always dangerous to publicly predict the outcome of a presidential election, especially in a purple state like Ohio. But I’ve done it twice, in 2011 and 2016, months in advance, when both of my predicted winners, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, respectively, were behind. This year, I am predicting that Trump will lose in Ohio. That might seem like a somewhat safe bet, since the most recent Real Clear Politics polls for Ohio show Democratic nominee Joe Biden with a very slight lead.
Life-and-Death Decisions: Why Some States Vote to Block Health Care Reform

The Open Mind explores the world of ideas across politics, media, science, technology, and the arts. The American Prospect is re-publishing this conversation.
Why Politicos Love "Game of Thrones"
I can't help wondering how many politicos—and long-suffering political spouses, too—are secretly hooked on HBO's sexy, hugely entertaining Game of Thrones, whose very lively second season kicks off Sunday. Not because they can identify, mind you. It's just hard not to imagine them envying their fantasy equivalents in George R.R. Martin's brutally uninhibited realm. In the Seven Kingdoms, contrition is as unknown as push-polling or George Will.
Can the Democratic Party Be White Working Class, Too?
This article appears in the Spring 2017 issue of The American Prospect magazine. Subscribe here. Nothing about Governor Steve Bullock bears a resemblance to President Donald Trump. The son of educators, he had a humble, unremarkable upbringing in the Rocky Mountain town of Helena, Montana’s state capital. He is less than comfortable in front of flashbulbs. A Columbia-trained attorney, Bullock is happiest being left alone to study his briefing notes or the minutiae of legislation in his quiet office.
A Liberal's Guide to Middle Earth
Caution: Spoilers In 2009, National Review ranked Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy No. 11 on a list of the best "conservative movies" of the past 25 years. The magazine's reasoning was simple -- after September 11, the adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy novels were the perfect Manichean fable for conservatives as they cheered on and spurred America's march to war against an amorphous Muslim enemy in Iraq.
Ohio: Another Brick in the Red Wall?
Unsuccessful Ohio gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray speaks to reporters on Election Day 2018 in Columbus. The midterm elections showed that the Democrats’ blue wall is being rebuilt brick by brick in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and northern Illinois.

Keeping up the Fight
Singer/songwriter Rachel Platten, 36, was raised in Newton. After graduating from Buckingham, Browne & Nichols School, she attended Trinity College and then moved to New York to pursue her musical career. She played coffee shops and small venues while honing her craft, releasing two indie albums before eventually penning the anthem “Fight Song,” the 2014 mega-hit that brought her stardom and earned her a Daytime Emmy Award. Her new album, Waves, continues her strong independent streak.
Jobless Due to Trade? Robots? AI? Why America Needs ‘Just Transitions’
I am constantly amazed that some journalists, especially economic and business reporters, have a difficult time understanding industrial working-class support for Donald Trump. Failure to understand his appeal is particularly important given that Trump’s evolving trade policy, including withdrawing the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and renegotiating NAFTA, may contribute to his continued support in manufacturing states.

Have Ohio Democrats Learned Anything About the Working Class?
In presidential elections, Ohio has long been a swing state. Its voters supported Obama in 2008 and 2012, then swung right in 2016 to support Donald Trump. On the state level, however, Republicans have dominated for the past two decades. Only partly due to gerrymandering, they have a 12-to-4 advantage in the U.S. House of Representatives, and Democrats hold only nine of the 33 seats in the Ohio Senate and only a third of the 99 seats in the Ohio House.

Elizabeth Chambers Hammer's Holiday Hosting Tips
The cupcakes play a big role in Bird Bakery’s success, but the Broadway coffeehouse and eatery opened by Elizabeth Chambers Hammer in 2012 has developed an ardent fan base in part for the charming experience it delivers. The large wooden tables, the vintage decor accents and the nostalgic menu items—from chicken salad to lemon bars—evoke the feeling that you may have stumbled into Hammer’s own home for a small party. It’s no surprise, considering the San Antonio native’s penchant for entertaining.
Youngstown, Economic Nationalism, and the Half-Life of Deindustrialization
In his 60 Minutes interview, Steve Bannon touted his form of economic nationalism and suggested that even Democrats like Senator Sherrod Brown and Representative Tim Ryan, both of Ohio, understood his economic vision, even if they didn’t agree with him. It was fitting that he name-checked Brown and Ryan, as both come from the northeast area of the state, where the history of deindustrialization began 40 years ago.
Khloé Kardashian Finally Comes Clean About What Procedures She's *Really* Gotten
There’s no denying that Khloé Kardashian has recently transformed her look, head to toe. And in true Khloé fashion, she’s not keeping it hush-hush. Living in the public eye, Khloé has to deal with the backlash that comes with the change, which means stories that are flooded with tales of plastic surgery. “People say I’ve had my butt done or I’ve had liposuction.

Why Is There a Budget Crisis in Connecticut?
Connecticut is bleeding red, and no end is in sight. Like Illinois and Kansas, the state has a massive budget shortfall, with a projected deficit of $5 billion over the next two years. Unlike Illinois and Kansas, though, Connecticut has yet to close its deficit. And quite unlike Illinois and Kansas, Connecticut’s problem isn’t just the handiwork of tax-slashing Republicans.

While many of those attending Tuesday’s rally came from outside of the city and the region, Trump has significant support here, rooted in the politics of resentment.

Is Anybody Really Listening: Pizza with Perez in Youngstown
Ohio has long been seen as a battleground state, up for grabs in most Presidential elections. The state supported winning candidates of both parties for decades. But as the state shifted back and forth, the Mahoning Valley (Mahoning and Trumbull Counties) in Northeastern Ohio remained a Democratic stronghold. If Democratic candidates could garner more than 62% of the vote in this region – as they often did -- they would win the state.

It Was Prejudice. It Was Economics. It Was Both.
A supporter of President Donald Trump takes part in a May Day protest in Seattle. Eight months after Donald Trump’s Electoral College victory, arguments still rage over what motivated Trump’s nearly 63 million voters. Was it racism and sexism, or was it the consequence of economic anxiety in disaffected white working-class communities? How had Trump succeeded, particularly in long-Democratic states in the Rust Belt, where Romney and McCain had failed?
Common mechanism of thermodynamic and mechanical origin for ageing and crystallization of glasses
We simulate supercooled monodisperse and weakly polydisperse hard-sphere-like systems in the glassy regime to study devitrification and ageing, respectively. Details regarding the system and the simulation are given in the Brownian dynamics simulation section in the Methods. For the monodisperse case, we see a clear increase in the crystallinity, but not for the polydisperse case, as shown in Supplementary Fig. 1.

The Democrats’ ‘Working-Class Problem’
This article appears in the Summer 2017 issue of The American Prospect magazine. Subscribe here.

Why Democrats Lose in Ohio
When a Monday Night Football game seemed lost in the 1970s, the late sports announcer Don Meredith would begin singing the Willie Nelson song, “The Party’s Over.” Many Ohio Democrats are now singing the same tune about the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP), and for good reason. Ohio Democrats have suffered two decades of major defeats.
How Bill Clinton Remade the Democratic Party by Abandoning Unions-An Arkansas Story | LAWCHA
Much has been made in the recent campaign about the alienation of working-class whites from the Democratic Party. Michael Pierce shows this is a path long traveled; Bill Clinton undermined the budding multi-racial labor coalition in 1970s Arkansas. In a horrendous election night for the Hillary Clinton, the only bright spot was Nevada, where Culinary Workers Union Local 226’s massive get-out-the-vote operation ensured that the state’s six electoral votes went into the Democratic column.
