Scientists have discovered a way to turn water into a gleaming golden metal.
Purified water was converted into metal for a few fleeting seconds in a mind-blowing experiment, allowing the liquid to conduct electricity. Because unfiltered water contains salts, it can already conduct electricity, allowing negatively charged electrons to easily move between its molecules, according to a statement announcing the new study. Purified water, on the other hand, includes just water molecules, which have their outermost electrons linked to their designated atoms and hence cannot travel freely through the water...
