Icebergs float on water because the underlying liquid water has a higher density than the iceberg. Liquid water itself has its highest density at 4°C—one of the so-called anomalies of water, i.e.

When heated with a burst of laser light, hydrogen bonds between water molecules shorten briefly. The work sheds new light on the structure of water. (Greg Stewart/SLAC) Water is the most abundant yet ...

Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a water molecule forms? Well, now you can finally see it in action, as scientists captured a molecular-scale video of that very famous meeting when ...

TL;DR: Researchers from Northwestern University have observed the formation of a water molecule on the nanoscale for the first time. Using palladium to catalyze the reaction, they witnessed hydrogen ...

Water molecules, through their versatile bonding and dynamic behaviour, mediate a myriad of physical, chemical and biological processes. This overview discusses the complex interplay between the ...

Water molecules are so attracted to each other that even after the balloon pops, the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen ...
