Water

A graduate school and research workshop examine water from molecular to planetary scales. The programme connects hydrogen bonding and quantum effects with collective dynamics, interfaces, biological function, extreme conditions and atmospheric water. Participants study first-principles simulations, machine-learned potentials and multiscale modelling. The first week provides foundational training; the second features current research, discussions and posters. Applicants should have grounding in statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics and molecular simulation or related computation. Graduate st

This episode examines water’s unusual physical properties and research testing whether liquid water can be understood through two distinct structural states. It also explores efforts to identify research misconduct, including image manipulation and fabricated publications, and the tools and post-publication review practices used by independent investigators.
