Soooo.. Here's what i learned! :D
Researchers believe water coats just about every surface at room temperature. So with just a sheet of carbon reasearchers have found a new way to visualize the structure of the molecules. The water molecules are hard to study because they are always in movement but, by accident a group found a better way to look at these molecules. They discovered that Graphene, a honeycomb like lattice, should be flat when layered onto a flat surface. This proved that water molecules exsist on every surface :D They tested further and discovered the water molecules' pattern became more odd at a higher humidity. This also supported their idea that the molecules exsisted on all surfaces. After performing this experiment, they discovered the molecules form in a two layers of two-molecule-thick of ice forms. On top of this is where you get your droplets. As they work further they are trying to make is possible to photograph these molecules.
Self Evaluation:
I would just like to point out I wasn't aware of ANY of this. I learned a lot! I would like to work more with articles and summarizing them because I'm not very good at understanding things when i read them. I have to have a visual picture. Although, I did learn a lot from this article.
