Optimum performance of upcoming thermochemical energy storage and other technologies depends on proper applications of the principles that underpin salt ion hydration. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Hydration dynamics in electrolyte solutions concerns the time-dependent behaviour of water molecules interacting with dissolved ions. When salts dissolve, ions become enveloped by layers of ...

A study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society reports that artificial intelligence can enhance protein stability in an unexpected way—by engineering the water around a protein, not ...

When metal cations dissolve in water, they become encased in layers of solvent molecules whose rapid rearrangements and exchanges define the hydration dynamics. The structure and mobility of the first ...
