      abstract = {Despite advances in the long-range electrostatic  double-layer force, which depends strongly on ionic  strength in water by using theoretical models such as DLVO  (Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek), the structure of  confined water in air still remains widely unknown and has  led to a variety of unexplained phenomena. This book  bridges that gap by introducing a newly developed scanning  probe miscroscopy (SPM) approach, which enables one to  probe confined water at the molecular and atomic scale.  Written by the developer of SPM, this book covers this new  approach, as well as original approaches to addressing  general interfacial water issues. It also introduces the  cantilever-based optical interfacial force microscope  (COIFM), which was invented by the author along with the  methodology. The improved understanding will contribute to  liquid-based nano- and bio-technologies such as  lab-on-a-chip technologies, nanofluidic devices, dip-pen  nanolithography, nano-oxidation, water-based granular  interactions, liquid-based nanolubricants, hydration layers  in biopolymers, manipulation of biomolecules, protein  folding, stability of colloid suspensions, enzyme activity,  swelling in clays, development of bioactive surfaces, water  columns and ion channeling in membranes and scanning probe  microscopy (SPM). It will also contribute to the improved  performance of moving components in silicon-based  micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices, where water  plays a key role in interfacial interactions.},
