Nanofluidics has firmly established itself as a new field in fluid mechanics, as novel
properties have been shown to emerge in fluids at the nanometric scale. Thanks to recent …

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 …

The poor performance of many existing nonpolarizable ion force fields is typically blamed on
either the lack of explicit polarizability, the absence of charge transfer, or the use of …

The origin of the apparent negative charge at hydrophobic–water interfaces has fueled
debates in the physical chemistry community for decades. The most common interpretation …

The recent emergence of nanofluidics has highlighted the exceptional properties of
graphene and its boron-nitride counterpart as confining nanomaterials for water and ion …

It has been widely recognized that the pH environment influences the nanobubble dynamics
and hydroxide ions adsorbed on the surface may be responsible for the long-term survival of …

Hydration layers surrounding charges or zwitterionic moieties have long been known to play
important roles in areas including antifouling and colloidal stability, and particularly over the …

Understanding the interfacial molecular structure of acidic aqueous solutions is important in
the context of, eg, atmospheric chemistry, biophysics, and electrochemistry. The hydration of …

Although important for atmospheric processes and gas-phase catalysis, very little is known
about the hydration state of ions in the vapor phase. Here we study the evaporation …

Emulsions, microemulsions, and foams are dispersions of two immiscible fiuids stabilized by
surface-active species. Emulsions and microemulsions are dispersions usually made with …
