Abstract: Nanometer-thick water films grow anisotropically over single mineral nanoparticles. Knowledge of the occurrences of water films on minerals is critical for global biogeochemical and atmospheric processes, including element cycling and ice nucleation. The underlying mechanisms… read more here.
