An article recently published in Nature (News and Views) by Albert Verdaguer (ICMAB-CSIC) and Neus Domingo (Oak Ridge National Lab) puts in context some very recent published findings about unexpected transformation in the electrical properties of water when it is confined between atomically flat crystals in spaces only a few nanometres wide. This finding opens up new vistas for understanding water’s role in biology, materials science and nanotechnology.
