Compartmentalization of the aqueous space within a cell is necessary for life. In similar
fashion to the nanometer-scale compartments in living systems, synthetic water-soluble …

Forces to reckon with: Supramolecular complexes, such as the one shown, are normally
based on a combination of different interactions such as ion pairing, hydrogen bonds, and …

Existing texts on the statistical mechanics of liquids treat only spherical molecules. However,
nearly all fluids of practical interest are composed of non-spherical molecules that are often …

How are water's material properties encoded within the structure of the water molecule? This
is pertinent to understanding Earth's living systems, its materials, its geochemistry and …

Water and silicon are chemically dissimilar substances with common physical properties.
Their liquids display a temperature of maximum density, increased diffusivity on …

Water is essential for life in many ways, and without it biomolecules might no longer truly be
biomolecules. In particular, water is important to the structure, stability, dynamics, and …

This review deals with dynamics of water molecules in the hydration layer that surrounds
selfassemblies and proteins in aqueous solutions. This topic has not only seen a vigorous …

Inflammation is the response of the immune system to harmful stimuli such as tissue injury,
infection or toxic chemicals, which has the aim of eliminating irritants or pathogenic …

Abstract Cucurbit [n] urils (CBn) bind guest molecules through a combination of electrostatic
