TLDR
Glassy bicontinuous cubic liquid crystals are developed to be a matrix having a hydrophilic infinite periodic minimal surface (IPMS), leading to the formation of a 3D continuous hydrogen-bonding network of water molecules along the IPMS.Abstract:
Glassy bicontinuous cubic liquid crystals are developed to be a matrix having a hydrophilic infinite periodic minimal surface (IPMS). They function as a scaffold for water, leading to the formation of a 3D continuous hydrogen-bonding network of water molecules along the IPMS. This material design is advantageous for developing novel electrolytes with rigidity and high proton conductivity.read more

The Grotthuss mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that the molecular mechanism behind prototropic mobility involves a periodic series of isomerizations between H 9 O 4 + and H 5 O 2 +, the first trigerred by hyrdogen-bond cleavage of a second-shell water molecule and the second by the reverse, hydrogen-bonder formation process.
