Subject: CAS freezing

        Re:

"One very simple demonstration of CAS freezing and how it prevents ice
crystal formation is that it can freeze a full glass bottle of water.
The water level remains the same, the glass does not break, and the
water is crystal clear except for a few bubbles."

This strains credulity.  If pure water could really solidify into a
structure other than Ice 1h in macroscopic volumes at normal
atmospheric pressure, we'd be reading about it in Nature magazine.
CAS freezers have been around long enough for such a phenomenon to be
noticed and published by Japanese physicists.
