The structure of water at the interface with other materials is thought to determine their
wetting properties and underlies the vast array of phenomena known under the names of …

Ambient liquid water always finds itself confined by one or more boundaries. For the water
droplet, the boundary is the interface with its vapor. Sometimes two interfaces are involved …

Interactions between monatomic ions and water molecules are fundamental to
understanding the hydration of complex polyatomic ions and ionic process. Among the …

Water-solid interfaces play important roles across a broad range of scientific and application
fields. In the past decades, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has significantly deepened our …

The growth of water on thin SiO2 films on Si wafers at vapor pressures between 1.5 and 4
Torr and temperatures between− 10 and 21° C has been studied in situ using Kelvin probe …

The structure and growth of water films on surfaces is reviewed, starting from single
molecules to two-dimensional wetting layers, and liquid interfaces. This progression follows …

Purpose Approximately 50% of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are manufactured
and formulated as salts, due to their enhanced dissolution rates or improved solid state …

Evaporation of saline solutions from porous media, common in arid areas, involves complex
interactions between mass transport, energy exchange and phase transitions. We quantified …

The NaCl salt–solution interface often serves as an example of an uncharged surface.
However, recent laser-Doppler electrophoresis has shown some evidence that the NaCl …

Hygroscopicity is capable of significantly affecting atmospheric visibility, radiative forcing,
and cloud condensation nuclei process. Herein, a physisorption analyzer was adopted to …
