Ions differ in their ability to salt out proteins from solution as expressed in the lyotropic or
Hofmeister series of cations and anions. Since its first formulation in 1888, this series has …

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 …

Diamine-appended Mg2 (dobpdc)(dobpdc4–= 4, 4′-dioxidobiphenyl-3, 3′-dicarboxylate)
metal–organic frameworks are promising candidates for carbon capture that exhibit …

Hydrogels with high strength and ductility are normally prepared from synthetic polymers,
and most protein‐based hydrogels are soft and brittle. Here, a strong, ductile gelatin …

Nature takes advantage of the pervasive presence of water to control many enzymatic
reactions by utilizing the unique properties of water, which in turn help regulating reaction …

Abstract Aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered as promising candidates for the
next‐generation large‐scale energy storage, which, however, is facing the challenge of …

Hydrogels based on supramolecular noncovalent interactions have attracted great research
interest but are still limited by relatively low mechanical strength and performance …

Conspectus Ice formation, mainly consisting of ice nucleation, ice growth, and ice
recrystallization, is ubiquitous and crucial in wide-ranging fields from cryobiology to …

Specific ion effects in aqueous polymer solutions have been under active investigation over
the past few decades. The current state-of-the-art research is primarily focused on the …

Plastics redesign for circularity has primarily focused on monomer chemistries enabling
faster deconstruction rates concomitant with high monomer yields. Yet, during …
