Water molecules cluster to form hydrogen-bonded bicyclo-octamers (H 2 O) 8 (top left) that can link together into larger structures (top right). Ideally they form 280-member icosahedral clusters, (H 2 ...

According to one theory, the water molecules form clusters, within which they are then connected by hydrogen bonds. The Bochum-based team has now disproven this hypothesis using a combination of ...
