Optimum performance of upcoming thermochemical energy storage and other technologies depends on proper applications of the principles that underpin salt ion hydration. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Hydration dynamics in electrolyte solutions concerns the time-dependent behaviour of water molecules interacting with dissolved ions. When salts dissolve, ions become enveloped by layers of ...

How positively and negatively charged ions behave at the interface between a solid surface and an aqueous solution has been investigated by researchers from the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV at the ...

Proteins systematically lose their protective hydration shell when their environment becomes more acidic. Until recently this was just a theory. State-of-the-art imaging techniques have helped ...
