Research success at the University of Osnabrück: New insights into water molecules on calcite surfaces
Physicists at the University of Osnabrück have investigated the interaction of water molecules with the surface of the mineral calcite. Calcite, one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, plays a central role in natural and technical processes, as it can, among other things, bind the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in rocks and oceans. Using high-resolution atomic force microscopy, the researchers mapped the arrangement and orientation of individual water molecules… Read more »
