Abstract
values. This multidisciplinary study allowed us to reconstruct the structural arrangement of the MDES and its aqueous mixtures on both short- and intermediate-scale levels, clarifying the fundamental role of water in the eutectic formation and challenging the definition at the base of these complex systems.
