Water is familiar to everyone—it shapes our bodies and our planet. But despite this abundance, the molecular structure of water has remained a mystery, with the substance exhibiting many strange properties that are still poorly understood. Recent work, however, is shedding new light on water’s molecular idiosyncrasies, offering insight into its strange bulk properties. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago
