Electric field-induced giant columns of polarized water molecules

In confined nanoscale structures, such as nanopores or nanotubes, the polar characteristic of water can be evident; while in bulk or droplet form, it is masked by the statistical molecular arrangements dictated by free energy minimization. In this paper, we show that, under an applied electric field...
