Abstract Negative permittivity (ε′< 0), considered a supernormal property, has broadened
the range of electromagnetic parameters. It provides a new principle for the design of high …

Water is a salient component in catalytic systems and acts as a reactant, product and/or
spectator species in the reaction. Confined water in distinct local environments can display …

Nanoparticles are commonly added to polymer electrolytes to enhance both their
mechanical and ion transport properties. Previous work reports significant increases in the …

Why does a microwave oven work? How does biological tissue absorb electromagnetic
radiation? Astonishingly, we do not have a definite answer to these simple questions …

We analyze conductivity of polymerized ionic liquids with focus on fundamental limitations
hindering faster charge transport in polymer electrolytes. We emphasize that to achieve the …

We critically review the literature on the Debye absorption peak of liquid water and the
excess response found on the high frequency side of the Debye peak. We find a lack of …

Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry represents a powerful tool for extracting dynamic
information. Yet, obtaining links to molecular motion is challenging for many ions that relax …

We revisit the reorientational dynamics of 1-propanol as a prototype of a monohydroxy
alcohol and H-bonding system by dielectric spectroscopy (DS) and depolarized dynamic …

Water is ubiquitous on earth, but we know little about the real-space motion of molecules in
liquid water. We demonstrate that high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering measurement …

The slow Debye-like relaxation in the dielectric spectra of monohydroxy alcohols is a matter
of long-standing debate. In the present Letter, we probe reorientational dynamics of 5-methyl …
