Chemistry occurring at or near the surface of aqueous droplets and thin films in the
atmosphere influences air quality and climate. Molecular dynamics simulations are …

Conspectus Given the universal importance of electrolyte solutions, it is natural to expect
that we have a nearly complete understanding of the fundamental properties of these …

Nanobubbles (NBs) are nanoscopic gaseous domains than can exist on solid surfaces or in
bulk liquids. They have attracted substantial attention due to their long-time (meta) stability …

Electrostatic interactions near surfaces and interfaces are ubiquitous in many fields of
science. Continuum electrostatics predicts that ions will be attracted to conducting …

The adsorption of ions to aqueous interfaces is a phenomenon that profoundly influences
vital processes in many areas of science, including biology, atmospheric chemistry …

The surface potential at the water liquid–vapor interface is discussed in relation to
experimental determinations of bulk absolute ion hydration free energies. It is shown that …

The solvation of ions in a dielectric continuum is symmetric with respect to the sign of the
ionic charge. Yet, many phenomena show indirect evidence that water may have a …

The role the charge sign of simple ions plays in determining their surface affinity in aqueous
solutions is investigated by computer simulation methods. For this purpose, the free surface …

The electrostatic environment of aqueous systems is an essential ingredient for the function
of any living system. To understand the electrostatic properties and their molecular …

The ability of the water surface to donate or accept protons critically influences vital
processes in chemistry and biology, but intense disagreement persists regarding this …
