A team of researchers affiliated with a number of institutions in China and one in the U.K. has used Raman spectroscopy and computational techniques to study the interfacial water on Pd single-crystal surfaces. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes their study of the dynamics and structure of water at the solid-liquid interface and what they learned from it. Matthias Waegele, with Boston College has published a News and Views piece in the same journal issue discussing the recent history of using spectroscopic techniques to stretch the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen and giving an overview of the work done by the group working on this new effort.
