Structure order, local potentials, and physical anomalies of water ice

• Hydrogen-bond (O:H-O) forms a pair of asymmetric, coupled, H-bridged oscillators with ultra-short-range interactions and memory.

• O:H-O bond cooperative relaxation and the associated binding electron entrapment and nonbonding electron polarization discriminate water and ice from other usual materials in the structure order and the physical anomalies.

• As a strongly correlated and fluctuating system, water prefers the statistic mean of tetrahedrally-coordinated structure with a supersolid skin that is elastic, polarized, hydrophobic, lubricant, and thermally stable with ultra-low (0.75) density.
