Water is fundamental to life, yet its interactions at the molecular level remain a complex scientific frontier. At Malmö University, researchers explore how water interacts with biomolecules, surfaces, and nanomaterials. This work supports sustainable materials, cleaner technologies, and improved drug delivery – advancing solutions to global health and environmental challenges.

Research themes

Fundamental questions

At Malmö University, we explore water in its many forms:

  • Bulk water – water's behaviour in the bulk phase
  • Surface water – how water interacts at interfaces
  • Hydration water – water bound to molecules and structures

Application areas of our water research

Our research contributes to different challenges and innovations:

  • Water at interfaces and cleaning – understanding how water behaves on surfaces, crucial for cleaning technologies
  • Biodegradable plastics – developing sustainable materials influenced by water behaviour
  • Water in skin and mucus – key to medical applications like drug delivery
  • Residual water in "dry" systems – investigating hidden water in systems assumed to be dry, important for storage and stability
