Chemists have tracked with unprecedented spatial resolution how individual water molecules attach to an organic molecule. They used low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy to visualize the ...

The study of electrostatics and solvation in molecular simulations is pivotal for understanding the behaviour of biomolecules in their native environments. Electrostatic interactions govern processes ...

Water is essential for all chemistry and life, yet understanding how it interacts with dissolved ions—such as sodium and ...

Researchers analyzed the effects of solvation and ion valency on metallopolymers, with implications for critical materials recovery and recycling, and environmental remediation. In a new paper ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign advances fundamental knowledge about the role of solvation in ion binding and presents a new pathway for electrochemically ...

At Ruhr University, the groups of Professor Martina Havenith and Professor Sebastian Kruss collaborated for the study, which took place as part of the Cluster of Excellence “Ruhr Explores Solvation”, ...
