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."

    Nice photos of water patterns from a guy aptly named Alexander Lauterwasser ("clear water" in German). He produces them by setting shallow water tablets into vibration, mostly through sound. Nice pics

    Nothing like a typo to bring out the asshats. Thanks for your input.
