The Russian Nobel Prize winners in physics have made water "dead" and deprived of its ability to dissolve materials by experimenting with the interaction of its molecules with graphite chips and boron nitrates.

Russian scientists Andre Geym and Constantin Novosilov met with their scientific team.
In the experiment , the graphite layer was used as a"base", while a layer of boron nitride was placed on it to get scientists to resemble cavities , or "the building " , which contained separate rooms , dozens of nanometers wide . Cavities , and scientists were able to measure the electrical insulation properties of water molecules , as well as other physical properties.

The results of these experiments proved a radical change in the properties of the liquid when the thickness of its layer of 2 nm , then water becomes "dead", and lose the insulation and that it is a general solvent.
According to the scientists , this discovery is very important in the context of the study of the evolution of life and the search for intelligent beings , because thin water layers can play an important role in the development of the first complex chemical molecules, including DNA molecules , and research on the lives early Earthlings.
Graphite is abundant in nature , an inherent form of carbon as well as diamonds and fullerenes . The boron nitrate is a chemical compound of boron and nitrogen , belonging to the group of nitrides , and is in a solid state and is colorless.
