Arizona State University researchers have established a thermodynamic framework that links water adsorption on coated ...

Researchers have analyzed the stepwise hydration of prolinol, a molecule widely used as a catalyst and as a building block in chemical synthesis. The study shows that just a few water molecules can ...

Hydration energetics may become a central tool in engineering safer, longer-circulating, and more effective nanoparticle therapies.

Water molecules, through their versatile bonding and dynamic behaviour, mediate a myriad of physical, chemical and biological processes. This overview discusses the complex interplay between the ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in the Journal of the American Chemical Society the use of three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ...

Jump motions are the only slow variable at relatively high temperatures, for example, from ambient to ~250 K. At lower temperatures, however, the displacement of the fourth-nearest oxygen atom of the ...
