Does water suffer from claustrophobia? The local structural and dynamic properties of water in confined (300–4000 nm) spaces were characterized by an NMR study of the size‐dependent relaxation phenomena, which in turn reflect changes in water mobility and proton transfer. The results are important for understanding fluidics in extended nanospaces and in implementing micro‐/nanofluidic devices.
