Article Abstract
In this article we discuss current issues in the context of the four chosen subtopics for the meeting: dynamics and nano-rheology of interfacial water, electrified/charged aqueous interfaces, ice interfaces, and soft matter/water interfaces. We emphasize current advances in both theory and experiment, as well as important practical manifestations and areas of unresolved controversy.

Spiers Memorial Lecture: A retrospective view on the non-classical features revealed by advanced imaging of biominerals.
Faraday Discuss
June 2025
Department of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.
Biominerals have unique morphologies and complex hierarchical microstructures, so the study of biomineralization has benefited greatly from the development of advanced microscopy and characterization tools. In my career, I witnessed a revolutionary change in the theories relating to biomineral formation mechanisms. While much of this was due to the advancements in imaging techniques, I present an argument to suggest that model systems played an important role in steering the biomineral community toward resolving the non-classical crystallization processes that are now understood to lie at the foundation of biological calcification processes.

Supramolecular hydrogels are physical hydrogels that are formed by non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic interactions, and π-π stacking. Compared to typical, chemically cross-linked hydrogels, supramolecular networks commonly have stimuli-responsive behavior including reversibility and injectability, which are being widely studied for uses in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing. This review highlights recent developments in supramolecular network design and behavior focusing on the different possible molecular building blocks, including peptides, polysaccharides, synthetic polymers, and multicomponent systems.

Faraday Discuss
August 2025
Biochemistry and Biophysics, Cornell University, USA.
This introductory lecture considers the wide range of subjects that involve asymmetric bilayer membranes. The organizers have chosen four themes that describe the current interest in asymmetric bilayers. The main part of this introductory lecture starts with the discovery from over 50 years ago that the plasma membrane of mature, human erythrocytes has different composition and properties in each leaflet of the plasma membrane.

Chemical function is directly related to the spatial arrangement of atoms. Consequently, the determination of atomic-level three-dimensional structures has transformed molecular and materials science over the past 60 years. In this context, solid-state NMR has emerged to become the method of choice for atomic-level characterization of complex materials in powder form.
