may be ringing down on a scientific controversy regarding the structure of water
which arose two years ago. a new study by scientists with the u.s. department
of energy?s lawrence berkeley national laboratory (berkeley lab) has provided
further evidence that the traditional structure of liquid water, in which the
average water molecule is hydrogen-bonded to approximately four other water
molecules in a tetrahedral arrangement, is correct.
teresa head-gordon and margaret johnson,
bioengineers with berkeley lab?s physical biosciences division, and the
university of california berkeley/san francisco joint graduate group in
bioengineering, characterized the static structural organization of liquid water
by analyzing data which was collected by head-gordon?s research group in 2002
using the ultrabright x-ray beams at berkeley lab?s advanced light source (als).
they found that while the ?rings and chains? alternative model of liquid water
may exist for the briefest of instants, the average structure is that of the
familiar tetrahedral network.
