- Mysteries of Water
This article by Ken Jordan of the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center addresses water. The results of calculations on small groups of water molecules are used to examine why liquid water is able to carry so much heat and the surface tension of liquid water. "If the heat capacity of water were half of its actual value, the temperature fluctuations in our environment would be more extreme, and this would have important implications for life itself."

By Martin Chaplin, South Bank University, UK, "Because of its clear importance, water is the most studied material on Earth. It comes as a surprise, therefore, to find that it is so poorly understood, not only by people in general, but also by scientists working with it everyday."
