Wonders of water

Abstract

Water and ice perform differently from other usual substance when subject to tiny perturbation but most of its mysteries remain unresolved up to date despite extensive dedications made by generations. The aim of this volume is to show that alternative ways of thinking and approaching could be efficient to making substantial and systematic progress towards consistent understanding of the performance of water and ice and quantitative information on the hydrogen bond (O:H–O) bond relaxation and polarization dynamics under various perturbations, as well as their consequences on the detestable and correlated properties of water and ice.
