The researchers mention that the clumping only occurs in polar solvents like
water. Might it have something to do with hydrogen bonding and the formation of
the lattice that makes water stay liquid at temperatures at which other, heavier
compounds are more volatile? It could just be that the molecules are forced into
clumps by exclusion from the “regular” structure of hydrogen-bonded water.
