“New research shows that water's heightened chemical activity in nanoscale spaces is mainly due to extreme pressures, not the water itself becoming more reactive.”
Scientists have resolved a mystery about water confined in nanoscale spaces. Their research demonstrates that the water itself is not inherently more reactive.
Instead, the increased chemical activity is primarily driven by intense pressures inside these microscopic gaps. Additionally, the materials surrounding the water can enhance its reactivity by interacting with the reaction products.
