It has been hypothesized that liquid polyamorphism, the existence of multiple amorphous states in a single component substance, may be caused by molecular or supramolecular interconversion. A simple microscopic model [Caupin and Anisimov,…
In a previous paper [J. Chem. Phys. 129, 024506 (2008)] we studied a 3 dimensional lattice model of a network-forming fluid, recently proposed in order to investigate water anomalies. Our semi-analytical calculation, based on a…
Machine learning methods are being explored in many areas of science, with the aim of finding solution to problems that evade traditional scientific approaches due to their complexity. In general, an order parameter capable of identifying…
Narrow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) desalinate water, mimicking water channels of biological membranes, yet the physics behind selectivity, especially, the effect of the membrane embedding CNTs on water and ion transfer, is still unclear. Here,…
New experiments for water at the surface of proteins at very low temperature display intriguing dynamic behaviors. The extreme conditions of these experiments make it difficult to explore the wide range of thermodynamic state points needed…
This comment addresses discrepancies in dielectric constant calculations of water under extreme conditions (~10 GPa and 1000 K) between Fowler et al.'s recent study [Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 372, 111-123 (2024)] and the earlier work by Pan…
