In addition, water molecules on the protein as well as the solution where it exists, e.g. the cell's cytoplasm, add even more layers of motion complexity to the system.

The researchers were also able to track individual bacteria, and even single polymer molecules, which when added to water in different amounts, make it more viscous and elastic.

The molecules in these miniscule droplets of water are grouped far more closely together than when they were in their gas phase, and exert less pressure — a fact that has some pretty cool physical implications.

The warmer the water, the higher the energy of its molecules and the more they collide with one another.

When in a gas phase, water molecules are spaced much farther apart and take up more space.

The spacecraft's sensitive spectrometer was able to register the chemical signatures not only of water vapor but also of hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide — all precursors of the more complex molecules that scientists think eventually gave rise to life on Earth.

In the 1950s and»60s researchers realized that they could reverse the process by applying pressure to the more concentrated solution, causing water molecules there to traverse the membrane, leaving behind a condensed brine.

«During the evaporation of the water from the ocean, the water molecules formed by lighter isotopes will get preferentially evaporated, while during condensation the heavier isotopes will condense more effectively,» he says.
