The hydration lubrication paradigm, whereby hydration layers are both strongly held by the
charges they surround, and so can support large pressures without being squeezed out, and …

Over the last half-century, direct measurements of surface forces have been instrumental in
the exploration of a multitude of phenomena in liquid, soft, and biological matter …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

The adhesion of mussel foot proteins (Mfps) to a variety of specially engineered mineral and
metal oxide surfaces has previously been investigated extensively, but the relevance of …

Impressive properties arise from the atomically thin nature of transition metal dichalcogenide
two-dimensional materials. However, being atomically thin limits their optical absorption or …

This consistent and systematic review of recent advances in optical antenna theory and
practice brings together leading experts in the fields of electrical engineering, nano-optics …

Electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) promises the replacement of fossil fuels as the source
of feedstock chemicals and seasonal storage of renewable energy. While much progress …

The hydrophobic (HB) interaction plays a critical role in many colloidal and interfacial
phenomena, biophysical and industrial processes. Surface hydrophobicity, characterized by …

In an experimentally simple replica process, the natural flatness of mica or polished silicon
wafers can be transferred to metal films, resulting in metal surfaces with topographic features …

We present a newly designed electrochemical surface forces apparatus (EC-SFA) that
allows control and measurement of surface potentials and interfacial electrochemical …
