Clathrate hydrates are complex water structures that contain foreign guest molecules inside a host water-molecule shell. A predicted clathrate hydrate phase structure has been stably synthesized in ...

Understanding the various molecular interactions and structures that arise among surface water molecules would enable scientists and engineers to develop all sorts of ...

Water-containing layered materials have many potential applications, such as water purification and energy storage. However, the link between interlayer ion configuration and water architecture in ...

Such 'hydration' can also occur when water molecules or their constituent elements, notably a hydroxide ion (a negatively charged ion combining a single oxygen and single hydrogen atom) are integrated ...

Water is a familiar substance that is present virtually everywhere. The properties of the first few layers of water molecules in contact with the surface of materials (called 'surface water') are ...
