anomalous waterArticle Free Pass anomalous water, also called
Orthowater, or Polywater, liquid water generally formed by
condensation of water vapour in tiny glass or fused-quartz
capillaries and with properties very different from those well
established for ordinary water; e.g., lower vapour pressure,
lower freezing temperature, higher density and viscosity, higher
thermal stability, and different infrared and Raman spectra. For
a few years after the announcement of the discovery of the
substance (1968) by a group of Soviet scientists, many
investigators held the view that the substance was a new form of
water, possibly a polymer. In the 1970s thorough study
established that anomalous water is ordinary water containing
ionic contaminants that cause it to have the unusual properties.
