How a molecule from a solid crystal structure is solvated in a liquid solvent has been observed at a molecular level for the first time by chemists at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. The process is too fast ...

In a world first, researchers have recorded exactly how solvents interact with dissolved materials, one atom at a time. After a solute, such as salt, dissolves in a solvent, such as water, the two ...

Under the direction of Professor Wei Chen from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), researchers have demonstrated the critical role that ...
