Surface chemistry is the study of chemical reactions at surfaces and interfaces. Appreciating how molecules and atoms interact with surfaces and with each other while on surfaces is key to ...

"We want to measure and uncover chemical reactions in real environments," Perrine said, adding that her team focuses specifically on surface chemistry, the thin layers and films where water ...

Mechanisorption expands the realm of surface chemistry beyond physisorption—where van der Waals interactions anchor substances to surfaces—and chemisorption—where covalent bonds moor ...

A new study has revealed the clearest-ever picture of the surface chemistry of worm species that provides groundbreaking insights into how animals interact with their environment and each other.

Here, we demonstrate that surface-chemistry-driven actuation can be realized in high-surface-area materials such as nanoporous gold. For example, we achieve reversible strain amplitudes of the ...

including polarized modulated-infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS), to measure surface chemistry, uncovering physical and chemical phenomena that addresses global challenges in ...
