Ions in water: characterizing the forces that control chemical processes and biological structure.
TLDR
Two different techniques indicate that the interaction of water with anions is by an approximately linear hydrogen bond, suggesting that the dominant forces on ions in water are short range forces of a chemical nature.About:

A new perspective in understanding the processing mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine by near-infrared spectroscopy with Aquaphotomics
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined Crataegi Fructus, which has four processed products (raw, fried, charred, and carbonized), as an example to investigate the processing mechanisms that cause differences in their clinical use.

Local Molecular Field Theory for Coulomb Interactions in Aqueous Solutions.
TL;DR: Local molecular field (LMF) theory as mentioned in this paper exploits an exact and physically suggestive separation of intermolecular Coulomb interactions into strong short-range and uniformly slowly varying long-range components.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported that linking dipicolylamine-zinc (DPA-Zn) ions onto polyplex nanoparticles can produce a strong hydration water layer around the polyplex, mimicking the function of PEGylation to reduce protein binding while targeting cancer cells, augmenting cellular uptake and endosomal escape.

The Hofmeister effect and the behaviour of water at interfaces.
TL;DR: The first general, detailed qualitative molecular mechanism for the origins of ion-specific (Hofmeister) effects on the surface potential difference at an air-water interface is proposed; this mechanism suggests a simple model for the behaviour of water at all interfaces, regardless of whether the non-aqueous component is neutral or charged, polar or non-polar.

Specific ion effects at the air/water interface.
TL;DR: Aqueous ion-containing interfaces are ubiquitous and play a key role in a plethora of physical, chemical, atmospheric, and biological processes, from which just a few illustrative examples are mentioned.
