In this review, we describe dielectric properties of biological tissues and liquids in the
context of terahertz (THz) biophotonics. We discuss a model of the THz dielectric permittivity …

When Szent-Györgyi called water the “matrix of life”, 1 he was echoing an old sentiment.
Paracelsus in the 16th century said that “water was the matrix of the world and of all its …

THE metastable extension of the phase diagram of liquid water exhibits rich features that
manifest themselves in the equilibrium properties of water. For example, the density …

In contrast to crystalline solids—for which a precise framework exists for describing structure—
quantifying structural order in liquids and glasses has proved more difficult because even …

Despite long study, a molecular picture of the mechanism of water reorientation is still
lacking. Using numerical simulations, we find support for a pathway in which the rotating …

The term hydrophobic interactions denotes the tendency of relatively apolar molecules to
stick together in aqueous solution. These interactions are of importance in many chemical …

This review article focuses on the most recent advances in X-ray and neutron scattering
studies of water structure, from ambient temperature to the deeply supercooled and …

Hydrophobicity plays an important role in numerous physicochemical processes from the
process of dissolution in water to protein folding, but its origin at the fundamental level is still …

In this review, we report recent progress in the field of supercooled water. Due to its
uniqueness, water presents numerous anomalies with respect to most simple liquids …

Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …
