Researchers found that when a molecule displaces trapped water, the energy that the water leaves behind allows the molecule ...

Dehydration synthesis is the creation of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water molecule is released. This can be used in the creation of synthetic polymers such as polyethylene ...

Water behaves differently when trapped in microscopic spaces instead of flowing freely. Researchers have shown that this confined water becomes “highly energetic,” influencing how molecules bind ...

Water has a split personality. When it’s flowing freely in a glass or a river, it’s the easygoing liquid we all know. But ...

This article was originally published on Supercluster, a website dedicated to telling humanity's greatest outer space stories. Do us a favor: take a sip of water. Done it? Good. You probably needed ...

Astronomers have long wondered how Earth became water-rich—bountiful with abyssal oceans, frigid glaciers and rain that pours from the sky into lakes, rivers and wetlands. Water, which is composed of ...

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 ...
