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 …

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 …

Food product safety is a public health concern. Most of the food safety analytical and
detection methods are expensive, labor intensive, and time consuming. A safe, rapid …

The conversion of industrial wastewater, salt-lakes and seawater into the valuable ionic
resources is a critical challenge for sustainable global development. Electro-driven …

Research efforts related to the Hofmeister series of salt ions have waxed and waned during
its long and storied history. The past few decades have, however, witnessed a renaissance …

Significance: An increasing interest in the area of biological effects at exposure of tissues
and cells to the terahertz (THz) radiation is driven by a rapid progress in THz biophotonics …

Salt water is ubiquitous, playing crucial roles in geological and physiological processes.
Despite centuries of investigations, whether or not water's structure is drastically changed by …

The molecular structure of water is dynamic, with intermolecular hydrogen (H) bond
interactions being modified by both electronic charge transfer and nuclear quantum effects …

There are fundamental and not yet fully resolved questions concerning the impact of solutes,
ions in particular, on the structure and dynamics of water, which can be formulated as …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been receiving much attention as solvents in various areas of
biochemistry because of their various beneficial properties over the volatile solvents and ILs …
