Fluidity of bound hydration layers.
TL;DR: It is found that the bound water molecules retain a shear fluidity characteristic of the bulk liquid, even when compressed down to films 1.0 ± 0.3 nanometer thick, due to the ready exchange of water molecules within the hydration layers as they rub past each other under strong compression.

Dynamic Properties of Molecularly Thin Liquid Films
TL;DR: Results show that two molecularly smooth surfaces, when close together in simple liquids, slide (shear) past each other while separated by a discrete number of molecular layers, and that the frictional force is "quantized" with the number of layers.

Hydration forces between mica surfaces in aqueous electrolyte solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, surface forces between molecularly smooth mica sheets were measured in Na+ and K+ aqueous salt solutions (at ∼10−3 M) both at 21°C and, for the case of Na+, at 65°C.

Sensitive force technique to probe molecular adhesion and structural linkages at biological interfaces
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that monitoring fluctuations in probe position at low transducer stiffness enhances detection of molecular adhesion and activation of cytoskeletal structure and can be measured at a displacement resolution set by structural fluctuations.

Confinement effects on freezing and melting
TL;DR: A review of experimental work on freezing and melting in confinement is presented in this paper, where a range of systems, from metal oxide gels to porous glasses to novel nanoporous materials, are discussed.
