Many properties of molecules cannot be predicted from the properties of the atoms they consist of. These properties only ...

A new study could explain why water is arguably the weirdest liquid on Earth.

Water, a molecule essential for life, has unusual properties—known as anomalies—that define its behavior. However, there are still many enigmas about the molecular mechanisms that would explain the ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have used advanced x-ray lasers to uncover a long-suspected feature of water: a critical point that appears when water is deeply supercooled. This occurs at about ...

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre “premelting state” that is both solid and liquid at once. Using advanced NMR ...

Using x-ray lasers, researchers at Stockholm University have been able to determine the existence of a critical point in supercooled water at around -63 °C and 1000 atmosphere. Ordinary water at ...

A spider is seen in web, cast with early morning dew drops, on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, India, Saturday, Jan. 2, 2016. Their research began as a study on how animals interact with surfaces in ...

A hidden feature of water, long submerged, has finally been brought to the surface. New experiments have revealed supercooled water’s critical point — a specific pressure and temperature at which two ...

Water is everywhere. It covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface, and it’s an essential component of life. It’s in the air we ...
