Scientists Create And Manipulate Nanoscale ''Water Wires''

Upton, NY — Scientists working at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have caused tiny strands of water, each less than one nanometer (a billionth of a meter) in width, to form inside a common mineral. These nanoscale “water wires” give the scientists a new opportunity to study the properties of very small quantities of water, such as that found inside cells, which behave differently than water at the macro-scale. The results are published in the March 17, 2004 issue of Nano Letters.
