Abstract

Abstract : Golden Gaze Persuades Hydrophobic water molecules were detected at the gold electrode/aqueous electrolyte interface using interface‐specific vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy. In their Communication onpage 4211 ff., R. K. Campen, Y. Tong et al. explain that the population and structure characteristics of this water type are bias‐dependent. The mythological Chinese figure, Sun Wukong, is shown wielding a gold‐banded rod with the power to orient OH groups in water toward the gold surface.
