Water behaves very differently when confined at the nanoscale, and understanding these anomalies is crucial for advancing catalysis, environmental technologies, and energy systems. A new study has ...

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 ...

The anomalous properties of confined water are mainly attributed to surface interactions; however, their significant scale-dependence is shown to be predominantly governed by spatial confinement. A ...

Using an X-ray laser, a research team has investigated how water heats up under extreme conditions. In the process, the scientists were able to observe water that remained liquid even at temperatures ...
