The HS-I, CS-I, and CS-II structures of hydrate correspond to the Z, A15, and C15 phases of the Frank-Kasper phase, respectively. With the discovery of HS-I, the primitive structures at the three ...

Researchers have experimentally detected the structural change of hydration water confined in the tiny nano-scale pores of layered materials such as clays. Their findings potentially open the door to ...

Understanding the various molecular interactions and structures that arise among surface water molecules would enable scientists and engineers to develop all sorts of ...

Water-containing layered materials have many potential applications, such as water purification and energy storage. However, the link between interlayer ion configuration and water architecture in ...

Water is a familiar substance that is present virtually everywhere. The properties of the first few layers of water molecules in contact with the surface of materials (called 'surface water') are ...

A research team at the University of Xiamen has created a machine learning potential for Pt-water interfaces. This study used molecular dynamics machine learning to uncover the complex interactions at ...

Smart materials are revolutionizing water purification with adaptive membranes and nanostructures, enhancing efficiency and ...

Reinforced concrete potable water structures are at higher risk for corrosion because of constant exposure to moisture. They are also limited on protection methods, because it is important not to ...

The water systems of India’s Deccan Plateau are structures that date back hundreds of years. Because monsoon season delivers more than ¾ of India’s total annual rainfall, communities have historically ...

Text description provided by the architects. Pylonesque combines climatic context and vernacular typologies into a semi-enclosed multi-purpose space for a primary and middle school in the Thai ...
