When exposed to high temperatures and pressure, water enters a state in which liquid and gas can no longer be distinguished. For a long time, there has been controversy about how this looks like on a ...

The film explores the essential role of water in supporting life and its various states—liquid, vapor, and solid. It explains the molecular structure of water and how molecules interact during ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in the Journal of the American Chemical Society the use of three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ...

Water trapped inside tiny molecular cavities behaves in a surprisingly energetic way, pushing outward like people crammed in an elevator. When a new molecule enters these narrow spaces, the confined ...

Scientists have carried out a series of molecular-scale simulations to uncover why ice forms more easily on surfaces than in bodies of water. (Nanowerk News) Water is everywhere and comes in many ...
