Exploring the Strange Properties of Nano Water

Written on

Chapter 1: The Unconventional Nature of Water

Water is a truly remarkable substance, exhibiting a range of unusual characteristics. Unlike most materials that contract when cooled, water expands. For instance, liquid water at 4°C is denser than ice at 0°C, which is quite counterintuitive.

But when we examine water at the nanoscale, its peculiarities become even more pronounced.

Water at this minuscule scale, referred to as "nano water," comprises such a limited number of atoms that they can no longer be perceived as a uniform entity. Each atom's individuality must be recognized.

Section 1.1: Fascinating Behaviors of Nano Water

When water exists in such sparse populations, it exhibits intriguing phenomena. For example, it flows more rapidly through narrow carbon nanotubes but encounters resistance in wider ones. Furthermore, water moves more swiftly through micro channels in graphene compared to bulk graphite.

Typically, when liquids move over solids, we envision a fixed layer of the liquid adhering to the solid surface, creating a velocity gradient known as viscosity. This concept explains why substances like oil and honey are highly viscous, while air has minimal viscosity.

Unique properties of nano water

In this scenario, the static layer of water at the surface minimizes friction between the liquid and the solid beneath. However, this dynamic shifts in nano water, where the liquid and solid engage in active motion against one another, necessitating the consideration of a distinct solid-water friction.

Section 1.2: Quantum Interactions in Nano Water

Moreover, within the nano water assembly, electrons occupy discrete energy levels. The electrons within graphene and nano water do not significantly interact, facilitating smoother flow. Conversely, when interacting with graphite, the water's electrons synchronize with those of the graphite, resulting in a slower flow. This dynamic is similarly observed in both thin and thick carbon nanotubes.

Chapter 2: Quantum Level Surprises

Even at a quantum scale, water continues to astonish researchers with its unexpected behaviors and properties.
