Confined fluids and electrolyte solutions in nanopores exhibit rich and surprising physics
and chemistry that impact the mass transport and energy efficiency in many important …

How are water's material properties encoded within the structure of the water molecule? This
is pertinent to understanding Earth's living systems, its materials, its geochemistry and …

Bulk water exists in many forms, including liquid, vapour and numerous crystalline and
amorphous phases of ice, with hexagonal ice being responsible for the fascinating variety of …

Membranes made of layer-stacked two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)
nanosheets have recently shown great promise for water filtration. At present, the reported …

Fluid phase transitions inside single, isolated carbon nanotubes are predicted to deviate
substantially from classical thermodynamics. This behaviour enables the study of ice …

Recent advancements in materials science have shed light on the potential of exploring
hierarchical assemblies of molecules on surfaces, driven by both fundamental and …

Water molecules confined to nonpolar pores and cavities of nanoscopic dimensions exhibit
highly unusual properties. Water filling is strongly cooperative, with the possible coexistence …

Atmospheric aerosols can promote the heterogeneous nucleation of ice, impacting the
radiative properties of clouds and Earth's climate. The experimental investigation of …

In this critical review we survey non-covalent interactions of carbon nanotubes with
molecular species from a chemical perspective, particularly emphasising the relationship …

Despite extensive research for more than 200 years, the experimental isolation of
monatomic sulphur chains, which are believed to exhibit a conducting character, has eluded …
