"Every new result can reshape our understanding of planets, their habitability, and our place in this universe." ...

Water is synonymous with life, but the dynamic, multifaceted interaction that brings H 2 O molecules together—the hydrogen bond—remains mysterious. Hydrogen bonds result when hydrogen and ...

Water molecules flip their orientation before splitting into hydrogen and oxygen. These acrobatics require significant energy ...

Previously developed in Geiger's laboratory, PR-SHG enables researchers to observe how water molecules interact with the ...

A breakthrough by researchers at The University of Manchester sheds light on one of nature's most elusive forces, with ...

The molecules in cold water move slowly and are close together. As the water is heated, the molecules move faster and a little further apart. The circles represent water molecules. The molecules are ...

The creation of water on the lunar surface is possible, according to NASA, because the Moon lacks an atmosphere. Unlike the ...

Hence, the water molecules seem to be frolicking around the ion (Fig. 1). Figure 1: The 'frolicking' interactions of water with an ion. This study is the first that directly addresses the ...

To explore the reason why water splitting suffers from inefficiency, the researchers applied a sophisticated new light-based technique called phase-resolved second harmonic generation. Shown here, the ...

A common mineral, α-alumina, found abundantly in Earth's crust, may have played a critical role in initiating the chemical ...
