The interfacial region of aqueous systems also known as the electrical double layer can be
characterized on the molecular level with second harmonic and sum-frequency generation …

Lipid membranes provide diverse and essential functions in our cells relating to transport,
energy harvesting and signaling. This variety of functions is controlled by the molecular …

Electrolytes interact with water in many ways: changing dipole orientation, inducing charge
transfer, and distorting the hydrogen-bond network in the bulk and at interfaces. Numerous …

The oil/water interface, for instance in emulsions, is often stabilized by surfactants. Hence,
the co‐existence of oil, water, and surfactant molecules at the buried oil/water interface …

Despite the ubiquity and utility of micelles self-assembled from aqueous surfactants,
longstanding questions remain regarding their surface structure and interior hydration. Here …

Aqueous interfaces are ubiquitous in natural environments, spanning atmospheric,
geological, oceanographic, and biological systems, as well as in technical applications …

The self-assembly of surfactant monolayers at interfaces plays a sweeping role in tasks
ranging from household cleaning to the regulation of the respiratory system. The synergy …

The electrostatic environment of aqueous systems is an essential ingredient for the function
