Quantitative measurement of cooperative binding in partially dissociated water dimers at the hematite R-cut surface
Paul T. P. Ryan, Panukorn Sombut, Ali Rafsanjani Abbasi +7
Water-solid interfaces pervade the natural environment and modern technology. On some surfaces, water-water interactions induce the formation of partially dissociated interfacial l…
A unified theory to describe the transition of stable nanobubbles to unstable microbubbles on homogeneous surface
Binghai Wen, Yongcai Pan, Lijuan Zhang +4
Experiments have not only revealed the remarkably long lifetime of nanobubbles, but also demonstrated the diffusive instability of bubbles above micrometers, thus a full-scale phys…
Molecular-Scale Hydrophilicity Induced by Solute: Molecular-thick Charged Pancakes of Aqueous Salt Solution on Hydrophobic Carbon-based Surfaces
Guosheng Shi, Yue Shen, Jian Liu +5
We directly observed molecular-thick aqueous salt-solution pancakes on a hydrophobic graphite surface under ambient conditions employing atomic force microscopy. This observation i…
Mass transportation of thermally driven nanotube nanomotors with defects
Jige Chen, Yi Gao, Chunlei Wang +3
Thermally driven nanotube nanomotors provide linear mass transportation controlled by a temperature gradient. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear where the mass tran…
