·       An extended tetrahedron unifies the lengthscale, geometry, and density of water ice

·       O:H-O bond cooperative relaxation stemsanomalies of water and ice

·       Water prefers 4-coordinated mono-phase with asupersolid skin unless at nanoscale

·       An elastic, hydrophobic and less dense skinslipperizes ice and toughens water skin

·       H-bond memory and skin supersolidity resolve Mpembaeffect - hot water freezes faster
