Researchers discover astonishing behavior of water confined in carbon nanotubes

Monday, November 28, 2016 - 16:01 in Physics & Chemistry

It's a well-known fact that water, at sea level, starts to boil at a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 100 degrees Celsius. 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.
