And scientists have long observed that when water is confined in very small spaces, its boiling and freezing points can change a bit, usually dropping by around 10 C or so." Physicists just discovered a second state of liquid water http://www.sciencealert.com/physicists-just-discovered-a-second-state-of-liquid-water "It's one of the most fundamental compounds on Earth, and it makes up roughly 60 percent of the human body, and yet water is turning out to be stranger than we could have ever imagined. Researchers have been investigating the physical properties of water, and found that when it's heated to between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius, it hits a 'crossover temperature', and appears to start switching between two different states of liquid." Water: the weirdest liquid on the planet https://www.theguardian.com/global/2015/may/11/water-weirdest-liquid-planet-scientists-h2o-ice-firefighters "Water is the only substance on Earth whose chemical formula has entered the vernacular.

This common, seemingly boring substance baffles and confuses anyone who peers at it for long enough." ____________________ DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories & perspectives you won't find anywhere else!
