In this Perspective Video, we discuss recent evolutions in our understanding of electrons in water. Although the wave-like proclivity of electrons for delocalization is familiar to every student of chemistry, it seems that electrons may have less respect for atomic and molecular boundaries than one might have considered proper. The boundaries in question include those between H-bonded dimers and within hydrated clusters, as well as those of aqueous cavities, colloidal suspensions, and macroscopic air-water and oil-water interfaces. Unveiling the promiscuous behavior of electrons at such frontiers may both raise eyebrows and demand acknowledgment.
