It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

Since the discovery of electron-wave duality, electron scattering instrumentation has
developed into a powerful array of techniques for revealing the atomic structure of matter …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are promising channel materials for next-
generation field-effect transistors (FETs). However, it remains challenging to integrate …

One of unsolved puzzles about water lies in how ion-water interplay affects its freezing point.
Here, we report the direct link between tetrahedral entropy and the freezing behavior of …

Metal-ion batteries (MIBs) are promising for large-scale energy storage because they can
alleviate the inherent intermittency of renewable energy. As an indispensable part of MIBs …

The nature of hydrated proton on solid surfaces is of vital importance in electrochemistry,
proton channels, and hydrogen fuel cells but remains unclear because of the lack of atomic …

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 …

Understanding chemical bond variations is the soul of chemistry as it is essential for any
chemical process. The evolution of hydrogen bonds is one of the most fundamental and …

We study the self-hybridization between Mie modes supported by water droplets with
stretching and bending vibrations in water molecules. Droplets with radii> 2.7 μ m are found …

Directly imaging structural dynamics involving hydrogen atoms by ultrafast diffraction
methods is complicated by their low scattering cross sections. Here we demonstrate that …
