Icebergs float on water because the underlying liquid water has a higher density than the iceberg. Liquid water itself has its highest density at 4°C—one of the so-called anomalies of water, i.e.

TL;DR: Researchers from Northwestern University have observed the formation of a water molecule on the nanoscale for the first time. Using palladium to catalyze the reaction, they witnessed hydrogen ...

Water molecules, through their versatile bonding and dynamic behaviour, mediate a myriad of physical, chemical and biological processes. This overview discusses the complex interplay between the ...

Water trapped in between molecules behaves differently than free-flowing water, as it holds more energy. Researchers found that when another molecule displaces that water, the energy that the water ...

Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a water molecule forms? Well, now you can finally see it in action, as scientists captured a molecular-scale video of that very famous meeting when ...

Clathrate hydrates are complex water structures that contain foreign guest molecules inside a host water-molecule shell. A predicted clathrate hydrate phase structure has been stably synthesized in ...

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 ...
