A research team led by Professor Hyung-Joon Shin from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has succeeded in elucidating the quantum phenomenon occurring within a triangular cluster of three water molecules.

Their findings demonstrate that the collective rotational motion of water molecules enhances proton tunneling, a quantum mechanical effect where protons bypass energy barriers instead of overcoming them.

This phenomenon has implications for chemical reaction rates and the stability of biomolecules such as DNA.
