Abstract:
Water at interfaces is a fascinating and multifaceted topic that has garnered significant attention in various scientific fields due to its relevance and implications. This Faraday Discussion explored the complexity of water at different interfaces. Many of the reports highlight the need for a molecular-level understanding. The Discussion was lively and constructive. In these summarizing remarks, I do not aim to be complete, but will rather try to sketch the status of the field, highlight the progress that we as a community have made, and present eclectic examples of where more work needs to be done.
