Clean water is still a luxury for many people throughout the world today. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 1.8 billion people drink feces-tainted water, and a substantial section of the world will face water stress by 2040 due to a lack of drinking water resources.
The function of a molecule or nanostructure is determined by its 3D configuration. A left-handed amino acid, for example, can be beneficial to human health, whereas its right-handed compartment can be harmful. Today’s modern optical imaging methods can precisely track down a molecule or a nanostructure, but resolving its 3D interior structure necessitates extra spectroscopic data.
Scientists from the RESOLV Cluster of Excellence at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have used current and voltage measurements on separate nanoparticles to prove that the capacitively stored charge at platinum interfaces can be considerably higher than formerly believed. They credit this to a unique arrangement and bonding of water molecules.
