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

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have used three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular dynamics simulations to determine the ...

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 ...
