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 ...

Every living thing on Earth depends on water, but why is that? Department of Chemistry Assistant Professor Nicholas Borotto studies biochemistry, and explains why water is an important molecule for ...

Water is a familiar substance that is present virtually everywhere. The properties of the first few layers of water molecules in contact with the surface of materials (called 'surface water') are ...

a molecule of carbon dioxide is pretty much straight versus a molecule of water is bent why the difference and more importantly is there a way to predict what the shape looks like in three dimensions ...

Molecular dynamics simulations have become indispensable for elucidating the microscopic details of water and its hydrogen bond network. These computational methods enable the characterisation of ...

On a Saturday afternoon in the fall of 2021, Silvio Decurtins was leafing through a paper with a title that could have been pulled from a comic book for mathematically inclined teens: “Plato’s Cube ...
