This question is among the 125 most important unanswered questions of mankind and it was proposed by the prestigious Science Magazine [1]. Water is the most common compound in

Raman spectroscopy is a very useful technique to study the water structure and molecular interactions in liquid water [4]. Analyses of Raman spectra of water in

These are generally grouped into two types: models with a continuum of geometric and energetic states (assuming tetrahedral coordination

• optimized ice-like water structure on Pb(111). It is obvious that the water layer does not form closed hexagons, but rather a stripe-like structure. As the side view demonstrates, the water layer is rather flat. The distance between the oxygen atoms of the water molecules and the metal surface is about 3.7

Whereas the hydrogen bond network of water around an alkane of modest length (e.g., C6H14) is not distorted significantly, the solvation of extended hydrophobic structures has a disruptive effect on the water structure because it prohibits the
