Water contains tremendous energy in a variety of forms, but very little of this energy has yet
been harnessed. Nanostructured materials can generate electricity on interaction with water …

As one of the most critical approaches to resolve the energy crisis and environmental
concerns, carbon dioxide (CO2) photoreduction into value‐added chemicals and solar fuels …

The interfaces of neat water and aqueous solutions play a prominent role in many
technological processes and in the environment. Examples of aqueous interfaces are …

The electric double layer governs the processes of all charged surfaces in aqueous
solutions; however, elucidating the structure of the water molecules is challenging for even …

Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

The molecular structure of the electrical double layer determines the chemistry in all
electrochemical processes. Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we probed the …

There are many reasons to report on silica interacting with biomolecules. The most obvious
one is that on the Earth's crust, oxygen and silicon are the most abundant atomic species …

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 …

In its 60 years of existence, the field of nonlinear optics has gained momentum especially
over the past two decades thanks to major breakthroughs in material science and …

Silica is the most abundant metal oxide and the main component of the Earth's crust. Its
behavior in contact with water plays a critical role in a variety of geochemical and …
