Proteins systematically lose their protective hydration shell when their environment becomes more acidic. Until recently, ...

Given the ubiquitous presence of water during catalyst synthesis, storage, and application, interactions between water and molecular sieves, along with their consequent effects on frameworks and ...

The latest production from the "molecular movie" imaging technology developed at Oregon State University is a new, inexpensive way of dealing with a common environmental pollutant. Based on ...

Water, a molecule essential for life, has unusual properties -- known as anomalies -- that define its behavior. However, there are still many enigmas about the molecular mechanisms that would explain ...

TL;DR: Researchers from Northwestern University have observed the formation of a water molecule on the nanoscale for the first time. Using palladium to catalyze the reaction, they witnessed hydrogen ...

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries have attracted widespread interest due to their low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness, and have become a hot spot in the field of secondary batteries.

Water trapped in between molecules behaves differently than free-flowing water, as it holds more energy. Researchers found that when another molecule displaces that water, the energy that the water ...

It’s one of those scientific questions that’s so simple, so fundamental, it’s hard to believe we didn’t have an answer—until now: What does water look like when it’s forming? From oceans to puddles, ...

Material scientists in China have created a new kind of coating that keeps clothes clean without the need for wasteful detergents. It could reduce the water and electricity costs of doing laundry by ...
