Scientists reveal surfaces, not confinement, govern water in nanospace, with changes only appearing when thickness drops ...

In their initial half-reaction, hydrogen atoms from the water end up split into electrons and protons — and scientists want to combine these into hydrogen atoms and molecules.

Visible light can help water evaporate due to the heat it imparts (SN: 3/8/16). But until now, it wasn’t thought to directly break the bonds between water molecules.

Using data from NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), Southwest Research Institute scientists have discovered water molecules on the surface of an asteroid. 31,191 ...

Water molecules have been detected on the surface of asteroids for the first time, proving that these remnants from the formation of our solar system aren’t just dried-up space rocks ...

Unlike in ice, these bonds are broken and re-formed on average 1 trillion times per second in liquid water, so that the water molecules can be packed closer together and move very quickly. Due to ...
