With the ongoing proliferation of terahertz time-domain instrumentation from semiconductor
physics into applied spectroscopy over the past decade, measurements at terahertz …

Water is the sustainable solvent of excellence, but its high polarity limits the solubility of non-
polar compounds. Confinement of water in hydrophobic pores alters its hydrogen bonding …

The advent of laser-based sources of ultrafast infrared pulses has extended the study of very
fast molecular dynamics to the observation of processes manifested through their effects on …

Terahertz and PFG-NMR techniques are used to explore transitions in the structuring of
binary alcohol/water mixtures. Three critical alcohol mole fractions (x 1, x 2, x 3) are …

Coacervates are a type of liquid–liquid phase separated (LLPS) droplets that can serve as
models of membraneless organelles (MLOs) in living cells. Peptide–nucleotide coacervates …

We study aqueous solutions of the amphiphilic osmolyte trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO)
using broadband dielectric spectroscopy and femtosecond mid-infrared spectroscopy. Both …

This review discusses the (soft matter) physics of food. Although food is generally not
considered as a typical model system for fundamental (soft matter) physics, a number of …

We study the spectral and orientational dynamics of HDO molecules in solutions of tertiary-
butyl-alcohol (TBA), trimethyl-amine-oxide (TMAO), and tetramethylurea (TMU) in …

We study the reorientation dynamics of water molecules around ions using terahertz
dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and polarization-resolved femtosecond infrared pump …

The solvation shell is essential for the folding and function of proteins, but how it contributes
to protein misfolding and aggregation has still to be elucidated. We show that the mobility of …
