Conspectus Surface chemistry is a key area of study in the chemical sciences, and many
system properties are dominated by the chemistry at the interface between two bulk media …

Minerals and organic matter are essential components of soil, with minerals acting as the"
bone" and organic matter as the" skin". The interfacial interactions between minerals and …

Lattice self-assemblies (LSAs), which mimic protein assemblies, were studied using a new
nonlinear vibrational imaging technique called vibrational sum-frequency generation …

Nonlinear microscopy has enabled additional modalities for chemical contrast, deep
penetration into biological tissues, and the ability to collect dynamics on ultrafast timescales …

A microkinetic model built on first-principles calculations is developed to clarify an ongoing
experimental controversy regarding whether hydrogen sulfide (H2S) molecules are intact or …

The unique physical and chemical properties of interfaces are governed by a finite depth
