``It is by now well established that a number of pure liquids, particularly water, exhibit a molecular long-range orientation near solid surfaces [l, 2]. Measurements of the disjoining pressure [3 - 6] and the altered viscosity in thin liquid layers between solid surfaces [7 - 10] have provided important tools for detecting these structural anomalies in liquid surface zones.''
Taken from: Dielectric Properties of Liquid Surface Zones.
The current study of water may explain life better than previously thought. Maybe new tools are helping; but probably also old prejudices were in the way to a scientific understanding of this vital liquid.
