DESCRIPTION:Vasily Artemov is a senior scientist in the Radenovic Lab at
  École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.\n\nHe graduated with honors
  from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2007 and was award
 ed a Ph.D. from the Prokhorov Institute of General Physics of the Russia A
 cademy of Sciences in 2010. Vasily is a physical chemist working on the f
 undamental properties of water in all its aggregation states. His broad re
 search interests include the electrodynamics of water and ice\, dielectric
  spectroscopy methods\, nanofluidics\, and electrochemical systems for ene
 rgy generation and storage. His first monograph on the electrodynamics of 
 water and ice was published with Springer last year.\nNo doubt\, water is
  the most important yet poorly understood liquid. In this talk\, I will pr
 esent the latest knowledge on the atomic-molecular mechanics in water and 
 ice based on broadband spectroscopic data from direct current to terahertz
 .\nI will discuss the details of sub-picosecond dynamics in water.\nI will
  show why the concept of a hydrogen-bonded network\, which has been used t
 o explain water properties over decades\, can hardly address state-of-the-
 art experimental data. A particular reference will be given to the electro
 dynamic properties of aqueous interfaces relevant to biology\, nanofluidic
 s\, and electrochemical power systems.\nThe perspective of environmentally
 -friendly energy storage will be discussed along with the peculiarities of
  the surface electrification of water in various chemical\, geometrical\, 
 and thermodynamic conditions.\n
