mefistofeles··on Scientists find molecular-level evidence for two structures in liquid water
There's plenty of experimental evidence for similar things. That's why I made a comment on this earlier about how it relates to it. Check my comment or https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aec0018 or https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms3401

Sadly paper is behind paywall. But I question the choosing of the water model to be a 4-site, and why that specific 4-site one (TIP4P) instead of others that have shown to be more accurate such as OPC. Also, there seem to be previous experimental work (https://arxiv.org/abs/1304.2877) showing some evidence that apparently is not even referenced in this new paper. I wonder how does that compare, if at all.
