Abstract
MANY experiments have corroborated the phenomenon involving the formation of condensates with anomalous properties from the vapours of water and other liquids on silicate surfaces. But the nature of this phenomenon remained obscure for a long time and widely differing hypotheses were put forward to clarify it, one of them involving the formation of stable associates of water molecules (H2O)n. This hypothesis was first formulated by us1–4 and was developed further by Lippincott et al.5,6.
