Equilibrium gigahertz acoustics reveals long-range confinement in liquids

Understanding how the mechanical properties of liquids confined within nanometer-scale gaps differ from bulk behavior is central to biophysics, lubrication, catalysis, electrochemistry, and surface science.

Understanding how the mechanical properties of liquids confined within nanometer-scale gaps differ from bulk behavior is central to biophysics, lubrication, catalysis, electrochemistry, and surface science. Yet the characterization of ultrathin confined liquids remains…
