The Mystery of Water

Date: 11/21/2005

Professor Anders Nilsson
SLAC

Water is essential for our existence on this planet - critical to countless physical, biological, geological and chemical processes - it has defied scientific understanding. Exhibiting peculiar properties such as increased density upon melting and high surface tension, water is one of the most intriguing problems in condensed matter and chemical physics. Current research at SSRL, however, is illuminating the nature of H-bonding, presenting exciting new avenues of research and challenging existing models of water's structure.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insight into water - the elusive molecule that sustains life!
