Water is characterized by large molecular electric dipole moments and strong interactions between molecules; however, hydrogen bonds screen the dipole–dipole coupling and suppress the ferroelectric ...

What defines a ‘new form’ of a substance? The question is provoked by a study showing the familiar, bent water molecule with its protons delocalised over no fewer than six equivalent positions around ...

Hydrogen tunnels: water molecules trapped within beryl channels. (Courtesy: Alexander Kolesnikov et al./Physical Review Letters) Water molecules trapped in tiny channels exist in a blurry quantum ...

A proposed pathway to construct quantum computers may be the outcome of research by a physics team that has created a new molecule based on the interaction between a highly-excited type of atom known ...
