Here, we investigate the development and relaxation of static charges on the surface of
plastic materials that are first brought in contact, and then macroscopically separated …

Adsorbed water molecules on an ionic surface may exhibit an ordered monolayer on the
surface. The ordered structure gives it many unique properties that are distinct from either …

Water condensation on solid surfaces is a universal phenomenon that plays an essential
role in many interfacial phenomena, such as friction, corrosion, adsorption, etc. Thus far, the …

The molecular scales behavior of interfacial water at the solid/liquid interfaces is of a
fundamental significance in a diverse set of technical and scientific contexts, ranging from …

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have investigated the impact of the ice-like water
monolayer inside the tube and nearest to the tube wall on the diffusion properties of other …

π–A isotherms, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and sum frequency generation (SFG)
vibrational spectroscopy are employed to investigate the molecular structure and lateral …

Oligoynes with two or more conjugated carbon–carbon triple bonds are useful precursors for
carbon‐rich nanomaterials. However, their range of applications has so far been severely …

Solid colloidal ensembles inherently contain water adsorbed from the ambient moisture.
This water, confined in the porous network formed by the building submicron spheres …

Silicon-based solar fuel devices require passivation for optimal performance yet at the same
time need functionalization with (photo) catalysts for efficient solar fuel production. Here, we …

Understanding structural and dynamic properties of water in contact with solid surfaces is
essential for diverse fields, including environmental sciences, nanofluidics, lubrication, and …
