    • 2015, Ulrich Mueller-Herold, “Are there Helium-like Protonic States of Individual Water Molecules in Liquid H2O?”, in arXiv[1]:
      Are there indications that individual H2O molecules in liquid water can loose their bent structure, i.e. that the protons give up their rigid angular correlation and behave largely uncorrelated, similar to electrons in the ground-state of helium? In agreement with the two-state picture of liquid water this would allow for the thermal coexistence of tetraedrically coordinated and spherical water molecules in the liquid.
