From a chemical standpoint, water has unusual properties that make it intricately associated with life. It consists of hydrogen and oxygen atoms bound together, with a chemical formula of H2O.

H2O: The Molecule that Made Us tells the human story through our relationship to water. H2O: The Molecule That Made Us is a 3-hour series from WGBH Boston.

LiveScience: No matter how long you look at it, a water molecule is still just two hydrogen atoms latched onto one oxygen atom. So says a new experiment. IE 11 is not supported.

As the saying kinda goes, water, water, everywhere, but how it actually forms is so mysterious, it makes us want to drink. That’s changed, thanks to the work of engineers at Northwestern University.

The Earth is alive because of liquid water and the success of our human story is intimately connected to our relationship with this simple molecule. But the growth of our civilisations has created ...

Engineering researchers have developed a technique to isolate a single water molecule inside a buckyball and drive motion of the "big" nonpolar ball through the encapsulated "small" polar H2O ...

H2O is the molecule everybody knows, and nobody can live without. But for all its familiarity and import for life, aspects of water’s behavior have been hard to pin down, including how it conducts ...

A water molecule. Water is made of molecules. Each water molecule is made from two hydrogen atoms chemically bonded to one oxygen atom. This means that the chemical formula of water is H₂O.

McEvers’ personal experience with water was one of the things that attracted her to H20: The Molecule That Made Us, a new three-part documentary premiering at 9 p.m. Wednesday on PBS.

Astronomers have detected water molecules on the surface of asteroids for the first time, a surprising find given that the space rocks were thought to be “completely dry.” ...
