Tiny Spaces Change Water's Behavior

Water behaves differently when it's squeezed into tiny spaces. These spaces are so small that they're measured in nanometers, which are way smaller than the width of a human hair. When water is trapped in these tight spots, it doesn't act like it does in open spaces. This is important because water
