Experimental structures
Shu et al. observed water clusters under
microscope. The experiments were
conducted in two ways. One is making
sodium chloride solutions and sampling
water clusters from the solution and put
the solution with water clusters on a glass
slide under a microscope. The second
method is to put a drop of Milli Q water on
a glass slide under a microscope and put a
grain of salt next to the water drop then
push the salt grain inside the water drop.
Under the microscope salt starts to
dissolve and break into smaller salt
particles. Some of the salt particles enter
water clusters and reveals the appearance
of water clusters.
