The ubiquity of aqueous solutions in contact with charged surfaces and the realization that
the molecular-level details of water–surface interactions often determine interfacial functions …

From a glass of water to glaciers in Antarctica, water–air and ice–air interfaces are abundant
on Earth. Molecular-level structure and dynamics at these interfaces are key for …

Zwitterionic polymers exhibit excellent nonfouling performance due to their strong surface
hydrations. However, salt molecules may severely reduce the surface hydrations of typical …

Bacterial ice nucleators (INs) are among the most effective ice nucleators known and are
relevant for freezing processes in agriculture, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. Their …

Access to clean water is a global challenge, and fog collectors are a promising solution.
Polycarbonate (PC) fibers have been used in fog collectors but with limited efficiency. In this …

We report the hydrogen-bonding dynamics of water to a nitrile-functionalized and plasmonic
electrode surface as a function of applied voltage. The surface-enhanced two-dimensional …

Hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of aqueous interfaces at the molecular level results from a
subtle balance in the water–water and water–surface interactions. This is characterized here …

Insights into the microscopic structure of aqueous interfaces are essential for understanding
the chemical and physical processes on the water surface, including chemical synthesis …

Phospholipid bilayers can be described as capacitors whose capacitance per unit area
(specific capacitance, C m) is determined by their thickness and dielectric constant─ …

Unlike in the bulk, the hydrogen bond network of water is interrupted at water interfaces, and
thus chemical reaction occurs at the water interface in a different manner than in the bulk …
