Ionic liquids (ILs) hold great promise in the fields of green chemistry, environmental science,
and sustainable technology due to their unique properties, such as a tailorable structure, the …

Frozen water has a quasi-liquid layer at its surface that exists even well below the bulk
melting temperature; the formation of this layer is termed premelting. The nature of the …

Existing polyamide (PA) membrane synthesis protocols are underpinned by controlling
diffusion-dominant liquid-phase reactions that yield subpar spatial architectures and …

The notion of asymmetrical Hydrogen Bond (O: HO) Cooperativity and Polarizability (HBCP)
has enabled exploration of the core physics behind irregularities of water and ice …

Second-order nonlinear spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful tool in elucidating key
chemical and structural characteristics at a variety of interfaces. However, the presence of …

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 this review article, selected, latest theoretical, and experimental developments in the field
of nucleation and crystal growth of inorganic materials from aqueous solution are …

Vibrational spectroscopy is a powerful approach to visualising interfacial phenomena.
However, extracting structural and dynamical information from vibrational spectra is a …

Surface-specific nonlinear spectroscopy, such as second harmonic generation (SHG) or
sum frequency generation (SFG), has been growing to be a popular tool of interface …

The slipperiness of ice is an everyday-life phenomenon, which, surprisingly, remains
controversial despite a long scientific history. The very small friction measured on ice is …
