We explore the fascinating and complex behavior of interfacial and confined water—water located near surfaces or trapped in nanoscale spaces. Its properties in these environments, such as within biological membranes or near chemical interfaces, diverge significantly from those of bulk water. Understanding these differences is crucial for fields ranging from drug delivery and materials science to cell biology.
Our studies primarily use computational molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate how different interfaces alter water's structure, orientation, and dynamics.
