The arrangement of water near a surface regulates the adsorption and desorption of surface species. X‐ray scattering measurements presented by Martin E. McBriarty, Kevin M. Rosso, and co‐workers in article number 1705618 , reveal precisely how water molecules near the hematite (α‐Fe 2 O 3 ) surface rearrange in response to applied cathodic bias. These measurements shed new light on (photo)electrochemical reactions at oxide electrodes and mineral dissolution under far‐from‐equilibrium conditions.
