Critical Review on Gas Hydrate Formation at Solid Surfaces and in Confined Spaces—Why and How Does Interfacial Regime Matter?

TLDR
Gas hydrates are crystalline solids composed of water and gases as discussed by the authors, and they occur abundantly in nature and are potentially significant to industry. Solid surfaces and confined spaces strongly affect the...

Hydrophobicity at small and large length scales

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a unified and generally applicable theory of solvation of small and large apolar species in water, where hydrogen bonding of water is hindered yet persists near the solutes, leading to drying of extended apolar surfaces, large forces of attraction and hysteresis on mesoscopic length scales.

Molecular insights into CO2 hydrate formation in the presence of hydrophilic and hydrophobic solid surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, second molecular simulations have been performed on CO2 hydrate formation in the slit-nanopores of graphite and hydroxylated-silica surfaces.

Interfaces and the driving force of hydrophobic assembly

TL;DR: The hydrophobic effect — the tendency for oil and water to segregate — is important in diverse phenomena, from the cleaning of laundry to the creation of micro-emulsions to make new materials, to the assembly of proteins into functional complexes.

Fundamental principles and applications of natural gas hydrates

TL;DR: Natural gas hydrates have an important bearing on flow assurance and safety issues in oil and gas pipelines, they offer a largely unexploited means of energy recovery and transportation, and could play a significant role in past and future climate change.

Water as an Active Constituent in Cell Biology

Philip Ball
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: The recent confirmation that there is at least one world rich in organic molecules on which rivers and perhaps shallow seas or bogs are filled with nonaqueous fluidsthe liquid hydrocarbons of Titan now bring some focus, even urgency, to the question of whether water is indeed a matrix of life.
