This review deals with dynamics of water molecules in the hydration layer that surrounds
selfassemblies and proteins in aqueous solutions. This topic has not only seen a vigorous …

Because of its unique properties, water drives many natural and biological processes. While
a detailed understanding of its precise role is still being unravelled, it is clear that the …

Water molecules confined in a supramolecular assembly control reactivity and dynamics of
biological systems in a unique way. In a confined system, water molecules display an …

The dielectric constant of water confined in a nanodimensional spherical cavity is calculated
by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations are carried out by using two …

Although water is often hailed as the lubricant of life, a detailed understanding of its role in
many chemical and biological processes still eludes us. In many natural systems, water is …

The invention and development of laser technology and other related ultrafast techniques
has opened and established new areas in molecular science called femtochemistry and …

The mobility of water in water/Aerosol OT (AOT)/isooctane reverse micelles has been
investigated via polar solvation dynamics measurements using ultrafast, time-resolved …

Silica-based materials (SBMs) are widely used in catalysis, photonics, and drug delivery.
Their pores and cavities act as hosts of diverse guests ranging from classical dyes to drugs …

Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) processes of the neutral fluorescence probe, nile red, I,
confined in the water pool of aerosol-OT (AOT) reverse micelle in n-heptane, is studied …

The solvation dynamics of water in lecithin/cyclohexane reverse micelles have been
determined via ultrafast time-resolved fluorescence studies. At hydration levels w 0≤ 4.8 …
