Researchers have analyzed the stepwise hydration of prolinol, a molecule widely used as a catalyst and as a building block in ...

It is not easy to follow the interactions of large molecules with water in real time. But this can be easier to hear than to ...

Is there a “fourth phase of water”? From time to time you might see people talking up the health benefits of so-called hexagonal water, or structured water, or exclusion-zone (EZ) water. A few weeks ...

New microscopy and simulations show how water interacts with two forms of chitin, revealing why one is more reactive and a better fit for future bio-based technologies. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...

The study of water interactions with metal surfaces, coupled with the effects of nanoconfinement, has emerged as a critical area in materials science. At the molecular scale, water molecules display ...
