DESCRIPTION:The strength and directionality of water hydrogen bonding make
  it a unique solvent\, yet\, despite its ubiquitous nature\, little is kno
 wn about how the hydrogen bond network responds to termination at solid in
 terfaces\, nor how water wets the solid at the microscopic level. This tal
 k will describe how water interacts with plane\, atomically and molecularl
 y nano-structured metal surfaces\, and the effect this has on the wetting 
 behaviour. Water's ability to respond to the symmetry and reactivity of th
 e surface\, and to catalyse rearrangement of molecular adsorbates\, is rev
 ealed by the complexity of the phases formed and the restructuring of wate
 r and molecular adsorbates even at low temperature.
