Many of you would think we know water in all its states quite well. Especially, we freedivers and divers are quite familiar with all three states (water, ice, and steam). What a surprise - water can take much more forms than just that!
I found a series of articles about not well known or newly discovered properties of water. I guess it will interest many of you, aquafils:
LiveScience.com: Scientists Make Ice Hotter Than Boiling Water
LiveScience.com: The New Mystery of Water
LiveScience.com: New Phase of Ice Might Exist
LiveScience.com: H<sub>2</sub>O or H<sub>1.5</sub>O? Water Mystery Solved
This one is interesting too:
LiveScience.com: Water Discovered to Flow Like Molasses
Or these ones:
LiveScience.com: Scientists Make Water Run Uphill
LiveScience.com: How Ice Melts: Longstanding Mystery Solved
And there are links to more water related articles at the bottom of the pages

So do not swim too close to the pool tiles or you'll stick to them like a fly to a fly-strip (well, keep at least couple of nanometers distance - that will help!)When molecules of water are forced to move through a small gap between two solid surfaces, the substance's viscosity increases by a factor of 1,000 to 10,000, approaching that of molasses.
