Water takes forbidden form Researchers say that when water is confined between two flat plates just 8.5 Angstroms apart - room enough for just two molecular layers - it can adopt a quasicrystalline state which appears to have a 'forbidden' twelve-fold symmetry.   |

A question mark over cubic ice's existence Chemistry textbooks may have to be rewritten after scientists in the UK showed that an exotic type of ice crystal formed from supercooled water has probably been misidentified and might not exist. |

World's smallest ice cube created Ice crystals must contain at least 275 water molecules, say German chemists. This size limit has implications for any process that involves ice particles, from cloud formation to making the perfect gin and tonic. |

Ice Twists Under Pressure Confined inside tiny, hollow cylinders called carbon nanotubes, and subjected to high pressures similar to those found at a planet's core, water freezes into tiny ice spirals that resemble the DNA double helix, a new study shows. |

Chemists Fake Virus Capsids Scientists have made molecular 'tiles' that stick together, mimicking the football-like outer shell of a virus. Such self-assembling molecular capsules would be big enough to hold drug molecules and could provide new ways to make nanoparticles. |
