Abstract

We report the finding of isolated stable-water-clusters of tens of nanometers to micron size from the evaporation of very dilute sodium chloride solution at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. The stable-water-clusters are found to be electrically charged by examination via an Electric Force Microscope (EFM). Raman scattering and infrared spectrum of residues from the evaporation show similar but not identical characteristics of liquid water.
