When heated with a burst of laser light, hydrogen bonds between water molecules shorten briefly. The work sheds new light on the structure of water. (Greg Stewart/SLAC) Water is the most abundant yet ...

Probably because I use it every day, I take water for granted. I’m Kelly McEvers, and I’m a radio journalist. And, for this story, I have teamed up with filmmakers and scientists to make a ...

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 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 ...

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, 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 ...

It’s amazing, isn’t it? Our blue planet. The only planet in the solar system that’s surface is covered in liquid water. But less than that 1% of it that is ...

This article was originally published on Supercluster, a website dedicated to telling humanity's greatest outer space stories. Do us a favor: take a sip of water. Done it? Good. You probably needed ...
