   • 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^[sic] 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.
