Abstract
We employ positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) to measure the temperature dependent fluctuations in a local free volume of water confined in a variety of mesoporous materials with different pore sizes and morphologies. We demonstrate that this unconventional approach can be used to probe the dynamics and glass transition temperature, T _g , of water in confinement. In the simplest case of water confined in a 13X molecular sieve ( d = 7.4 Å), the confinement is so severe that it precludes crystallisation altogether, and we measure a T _g = 190 ± 2 K. We also show that temperature dependent PALS measurements can be used to probe the glass transition of water molecules confined in matrices with larger pore diameters (SBA-15, KIT-6 and Vycor glass), where the confinement is expected to be less severe.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
