Recent investigations have illuminated the intriguing behaviour of water adjacent to hydrophilic surfaces. This interfacial water, often forming a so-called exclusion zone (EZ), exhibits unique ...

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 ...

As AI-driven data center development accelerates, developers, communities and regulators are increasingly focused on water demand—both the volume required and the sources from which that water will be ...

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 ...
