Water is an almost unavoidable element in surface chemistry—in some cases essential, and in others undesirable. The nature of water interactions with metal oxides is a topic of special interest for ...

The wide reach of corrosion, a multitrillion-dollar global problem, may someday be narrowed considerably thanks to a new, better approach to predict how metals react with water. The wide reach of ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...
