Forget The Freezer: Novel Way To Control Water Behavior Using Nanometer-sized spaces

Friday, February 20, 2009 - 11:28 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers may be able to "freeze" water into a solid, not by cooling but by confining it to narrow spaces less than one-millionth of a millimeter wide. It's more than a neat trick -- a deeper understanding of how thin films of water behave in nanometer-sized spaces may help advance numerous scientific endeavors, including the development of new energy sources, pharmaceuticals and self-cleaning surfaces.
