An experimental study of neutral water clusters has identified 17 molecules as the minimum needed to build an endohedral cage ...

A study published in Nature Physics provides new molecular-level evidence from simulations that liquid water is not a single uniform substance, but a constantly shifting mixture of two distinct ...

The left image shows a crystal structure of dynamic water molecule cluster like liquid at −20 °C in the supercooled water state revealed previously by X-ray structural analysis. The right image shows ...

For years, scientists have suspected that, at the molecular level, water is two different liquids ‪—‬ a denser one and a less-dense one ‪—‬ that are constantly switching places. Catching real ...

A glass of water may look perfectly uniform, but at the molecular level, it could be carrying two different forms that are constantly swapping places. Scientists have suspected that liquid water is ...

Researchers have analyzed the stepwise hydration of prolinol, a molecule widely used as a catalyst and as a building block in chemical synthesis. The study shows that just a few water molecules can ...
