In this Focus Review, we put the spotlight on very recent insights into the fascinating world of
wet chemistry in the realm offered by nanoconfinement of water in mechanically rather rigid …

Reaction rates of common organic reactions have been reported to increase by one to six
orders of magnitude in aqueous microdroplets compared to bulk solution, but the reasons for …

Water is known for dissipating electrostatic charges, but it is also a universal agent of matter
electrification, creating charged domains in any material contacting or containing it. This new …

Nature takes advantage of the pervasive presence of water to control many enzymatic
reactions by utilizing the unique properties of water, which in turn help regulating reaction …

Engineered nanoporous materials have been extensively employed in the environmental
field to take advantage of increased surface area and tunable size exclusion. Beyond those …

Electrospray and Electrosonic Spray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS and ESSI-MS)
have been widely used to report evidence that many chemical reactions in micro-and nano …

It is well established that the chemistry in microdroplets has been found to be radically
different from reactions in bulk, particularly in the case of water. It has also been established …

A kinetic expression is derived to explain how interfaces alter bulk chemical equilibria and
accelerate reactions in micro-compartments. This description, aided by the development of a …

How tiny aqueous aerosol droplets significantly accelerate the atmospheric multiphase
reaction remains an open question. Here, we show both experimental and theoretical …

Micrometer-sized compartments play significant roles in driving heterogeneous
transformations within atmospheric and biochemical systems as well as providing vehicles …
