“POLLACK THINKS that there is some other mechanism at work. “To think that one molecular layer can achieve all this is really the question. So we began to study the interface between water and air.” He noticed that a “crystalline structure grows at the interface between air and water. It is a stable zone and it looks like an exclusion zone, it also has a negative charge as well as a constant thickness.”
