Phase transitions in confined water nanofilms

Phase transitions in water are normally classified as first or second order. But in confined quasi-one-dimensional films of water, simulations show that the solid–liquid transition can take place by means of a first-order transition or a continuous one without a distinction between solid and liquid.
