This article is a 'stub' page, it has no, or next to no, content. It is here at the moment to help form part of the structure of SklogWiki. If you add sufficient material to this article then please remove the {{Stub-general}} template from this page.

The Widom line[1] (not to be confused with the Fisher-Widom line) is defined as the line in the pressure-temperature plane where the correlation length has its maximum [2] , and emanates from the hypothesized liquid–liquid critical point of water . It was named the Widom line by H. Eugene Stanley[3] in honour of Benjamin Widom.
