Abstract: Three recent papers have demonstrated the existence of ‘ferroelectric’ ice, in which some of the dipolar water molecules are aligned. The evidence came from experiments with normal ice, either grown on a substrate or doped with impurities, and although it resolves the debate about whether such ice exists, it reopens the thermodynamic question of whether nature prefers order at low temperatures.
