Specific ion effects (SIE), encompassing the Hofmeister Series, have been known for more
than 130 years since Hofmeister and Lewith's foundational work. SIEs are ubiquitous and …

From the stability of colloidal suspensions to the charging of electrodes, electric double
layers play a pivotal role in aqueous systems. The interactions between interfaces, water …

We follow the history of nanobubbles from the earliest experiments pointing to their
existence to recent years. We cover the effect of Laplace pressure on the thermodynamic …

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 …

Acoustic cavitation, generated by a piezo-driven transducer, is a commonly used technique
in a variety of processes, from homogenization, emulsification, and intensification of …

Over recent years, the supposedly universal Hofmeister series has been replaced by a
diverse spectrum of direct, partially altered and reversed series. This review aims to provide …

The long-standing puzzle of why two colliding bubbles in an electrolyte solution do not
coalesce immediately upon contact is resolved. The water film between the bubbles needs …

We describe a two-scale modeling approach toward anion specificity at surfaces of varying
charge and polarity. Explicit-solvent atomistic molecular dynamics simulations at neutral …

Due to scarcity of fresh water and stringent regulations on the quality of discharged water,
more and more flotation plants have to use groundwater, sea water or recycle water with a …

Most aqueous biological and technological systems contain solvated ions. Atomistic explicit-
water simulations of ionic solutions rely crucially on accurate ionic force fields, which contain …
