Water Suddenly Becomes Mysterious

Posted by timothy on from the good-reason-to-stick-with-juice dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Logical to assume that scientists know the structure of water. But wrong. A study in April by Anders Nilsson from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center concluded the molecular bonds are looser than thought. Now a new study by Richard Saykally's group at UC Berkeley appears to debunk the April results. So a new debate is born. Both scientists agree on one thing: They don't fully understand how water molecules interact."

    Some of the programmers I work with don't understand that water (when used with soap) can help remove that small that follows them around. I wonder if some of these scientists have the same problem.
