What even is water
Water is unlike most other liquids on Earth: it has at least 66 weird properties, including high surface tension, high heat capacity, high melting and boiling points and low compressibility. Some chemists have come to think of it as not being one liquid at all, but two distinct liquid phases that co-exist in a mixture. “We can’t fill a glass of two kinds of water types, but there have been some experiments which have indirectly seen these sorts of transitions,” says mathematician and modeller John Russo.
