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 ...

For the first time, Northwestern University scientists have watched water molecules in real-time as they prepared to give up electrons to form oxygen. In the crucial moment before producing oxygen, ...

Every medication in your cabinet, every material in your phone's battery, and virtually every compound that makes modern life work started as a molecular guess, with scientists hypothesizing that a ...

The movement of protons through electrically charged water is one of the most fundamental processes in chemistry. It is evident in everything from eyesight to energy storage to rocket fuel — and ...

Green hydrogen is one of the cleanest fuels known, and it has the capacity to decarbonize industries, power vehicles, and more for a sustainable future. Scientists have now announced the development ...

They’re called comb jellies though they’re not jellyfish. And they are beautiful when exposed to the light. But where some of them live, 8,000 meters beneath the sea, there is no light and they have ...

Water, though familiar, still hides astonishing secrets. When squeezed into nanosized channels, it can enter a bizarre “premelting state” that is both solid and liquid at once. Using advanced NMR ...

A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The Biomimetic Dendrimers and Photonic Laboratory of the research institute IBIMA ...

NASA scientists have discovered water molecules in the polar regions of the moon. Instruments aboard three separate spacecraft revealed water molecules in amounts that are greater than predicted, but ...

The Outside Story shows how needle-thin columns of ice protruding from the ground are formed from the liquid between soil particles.
