Experimental structural insight into hydration shells around nanoparticles is challenging. Here the authors use X-ray scattering and pair distribution function analysis to reveal interatomic distances in the very first adsorbed water layer as well as extended restructured layers out to 15 Å, with a bulk-like signature.
