Water clusters are known to form through hydrogen bonding. However, this study shows that the formation of very small water clusters significantly deviates from this mechanism and instead involves both hydrogen bonding and electron…
Fundamental studies of the effect of specific ions on hydrophobic interactions are driven by the need to understand phenomena such as hydrophobically driven self-assembly or protein folding. Using beta-peptide-inspired nano-rods, we…

We show that quantum-interference corrections in an electron fluid are tightly constrained by hydrodynamic Ward identities: charge and momentum conservation protect the $m=0,\pm1$ sectors, so the leading correction first appears in the…

Monolayers of colloidal particles at oil-water interfaces readily crystalize owing to electrostatic repulsion, which is often mediated through the oil. However, little attempts exist to control it using oil-soluble electrolytes. We probe…
