Spatial confinement in nanoporous media affects the structure, thermodynamics and mobility
of molecular soft matter often markedly. This article reviews thermodynamic equilibrium …

The structure of liquid water, its role in the solvation of ionic and neutral species, and its
effects on chemical reactions have been the focus of research for over a century, 1-12 and …

We studied the free fluid-fluid interface in a phase-separated colloid-polymer dispersion with
laser scanning confocal microscopy and directly observed thermally induced capillary …

Nanoparticles at fluid interfaces are becoming a central topic in colloid science studies.
Unlike in the case of colloids in suspensions, the description of the forces determining the …

Nanotechnology has enabled the development of an amazing variety of methods for
fabricating nanotopography and nanopatterned chemistry in recent years. Some of these …

Interactions between hydrophobic surfaces at nanometer separation distances in aqueous
solutions are important in a number of biological and industrial processes. Force …

Understanding the microscopic structure and macroscopic properties of condensed matter
from a molecular perspective is important for both traditional and modern chemical …

Recent experiments have convincingly demonstrated the existence of surface nanobubbles
on submerged hydrophobic surfaces. However, classical theory dictates that small gaseous …

When a liquid droplet is put onto a surface, two situations distinguishable by the contact
angle may result. If the contact angle is zero, the droplet spreads across the surface, a …

Abstract Fluid Interfaces Grazing Angles ReflectOmeter (FIGARO) is the new horizontal
neutron reflectometer at the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France. It is a versatile, high …
