    Researchers Discover New Molecular Properties of Water0

    Water has numerous anomalous properties, many of which remain poorly understood. One of its intriguing behaviors is that it exhibits the so-called temperature of maximum density (TMD) at 3.98 degrees Celsius (39.16 degrees Fahrenheit). In a new study published in the journal Physical Review Letters, researchers at New York University provide experimental evidence for previously unknown abrupt changes in proton (H+) transfer kinetics in water at this temperature.
