Water–solid interactions are of broad importance both in nature and technology. The hexagonal bilayer model based on the Bernal–Fowler–Pauling ice rules has been widely adopted to describe water ...

New microscopy and simulations show how water interacts with two forms of chitin, revealing why one is more reactive and a better fit for future bio-based technologies. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have used three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular dynamics simulations to determine the ...

IT'S DRAMATIC, no doubt. Take a simple radio-frequency field, a beaker of salt water, a match, and voilà—the water bursts into flame. This phenomenon was discovered by self-titled inventor John ...

Is there a “fourth phase of water”? From time to time you might see people talking up the health benefits of so-called hexagonal water, or structured water, or exclusion-zone (EZ) water. A few weeks ...
