For the first time, scientists from Switzerland have separated the two less-known forms of water and proved that molecules of H2O undergo different chemical activities. People are familiar with the ...

How water relates to and interacts with biological systems -- like DNA, the building block of all living things -- is of critical importance, and a research group has used a relatively new form of ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Northwestern University have successfully observed the formation of water at the molecular level in real-time. This study, which focused on the catalytic properties of ...

Supercooled water is two of a kind, a new study shows. Scientists have long suspected that water at subfreezing temperatures comes in two distinct varieties: a high-density liquid that appears at very ...

It’s a paradox: Life needs water to survive, but a world full of water can’t generate the biomolecules that would have been essential for early life. Or so researchers thought. However, when the first ...

Water molecules are ubiquitous, vital, and may have the world’s most well-known chemical formula (H₂O). The properties of water are quite unique; its solid state is less dense than its liquid state, ...

Zap a layer of water with a strong electric field and, experiments dating back years suggest, some of the liquid freezes, even at comfortable, shirtsleeve temperatures. New experiments indicate that ...
