Scientists see electricity pass through water molecules for the first time
It’s a well-known phenomenon, seen in action when hundreds of reindeer on melting permafrost were recently killed by a lightning strike and the same reason villains in horror movies lob hairdryers into the bathtub.

“Spectroscopic snapshots of the proton-transfer mechanism in water”
All this is done by viewing spectra, not like a snapshot or video.
“The Grotthuss mechanism explains the anomalously high proton mobility in water as a sequence of proton transfers along a hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) network.”
