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 …

We present recent progress in understanding the anomalous behavior of water ice under
mechanical compression, thermal excitation, and molecular undercoordination (with fewer …

Liquid/vapour interfaces govern the behaviour of a wide range of systems but remain poorly
understood, leaving ample margin for the exploitation of intriguing functionalities for …

Modern solid-state gas sensors approaching ppb-level limit of detection open new
perspectives for process control, environmental monitoring and exhaled breath analysis …

Water molecules confined to low‐dimensional spaces exhibit unusual properties compared
to bulk water. For example, the alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanodomains on flat …

Slippery liquid infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have recently gained a lot of attention
because of their wide range of applications. We recently showed that SLIPS with most of …

The intrinsic wettability of graphitic materials, such as graphene and graphite, can be readily
obscured by airborne hydrocarbon within 5–20 min of ambient air exposure. We report a …

Goldschmidt–Pauling contraction of the H–O polar-covalent bond elongates and polarizes
the other noncovalent part of the hydrogen bond (O: H–O), that is, the O: H van der Waals …

Lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) have emerged as an innovative way to combat several
modern challenges such as biofouling, ice formation, and surface drag. The favorable …

Surfactant controlling the wettability of reservoir rocks is one of the important ways to
enhance oil recovery in low-permeability tight reservoirs. A large number of scholars have …
