Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research team at the University of Xiamen has created a machine learning potential for Pt-water interfaces. This study used molecular dynamics machine learning to uncover the complex interactions at ...

The HS-I, CS-I, and CS-II structures of hydrate correspond to the Z, A15, and C15 phases of the Frank-Kasper phase, respectively. With the discovery of HS-I, the primitive structures at the three ...

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