Abstract

Water is a fascinating substance with lots of properties not encountered in other compounds. It has been suggested that making use of water's “anomalous” properties can lead to exciting applications in various disciplines e.g. engineering, medicine and physiology. The origin of these anomalous properties is far from clear, with the strong hydrogen bonds of water being only part of the answer. Moreover, water's structure and dynamics are not entirely understood either and new theories have appeared and debated during the 21st century. This review, aiming at a broader/general audience, attempts to review briefly some research trends related to water's structure, properties and applications. New experimental results for the debated phenomena of water bridge and exclusion zone are also presented and discussed. Various explanatory mechanisms for the exclusion zone are reviewed and a new proposal is put forward. A –hopefully- unbiased discussion is presented for both “mainstream” and unconventional theories and trends and future directions are also outlined.

水的结构、性质及其应用综述

水是一种迷人的物质，它有许多其他化合物所没有的特性。有人认为，利用水的“异常”性质可以在工程、医学和生理学等各个学科中带来令人兴奋的应用。这些异常性质的起源还远不清楚，水的强氢键只是答案的一部分。此外，水的结构和动力学也没有完全被理解，新的理论在21世纪出现和争论。本文针对广大读者，简要介绍了水的结构、性质和应用方面的一些研究趋势。对水桥和隔离带等有争议的现象也给出了新的实验结果并进行了讨论。本文对禁区的各种解释机制进行了综述，并提出了新的建议。希望对“主流”和非常规理论进行公正的讨论，并概述了未来的趋势和方向。
