We show that the vibrational response of a glassy liquid at finite frequencies can be described by continuum mechanics despite the vast degeneracy of the vibrational ground state; standard continuum elasticity assumes a unique ground state.…
Transport coefficients and dielectric relaxation in liquids are often treated as distinct manifestations of molecular dynamics. We show that, in polar liquids, orientational dipolar fluctuations generate a substantial contribution to the…
The relation between the frequency-dependent friction of a molecule in a liquid and the hydrodynamic properties of the liquid is fundamental for molecular dynamics. We investigate this connection for a water molecule moving in liquid water…
The vibrational dynamics of adsorbate molecules in single-molecule junctions depend critically on the geometric structure and electronic interactions between molecule and substrate. Vibrations, excited mechanochemically or by external…
A small amplitude perturbation analysis is developed to describe the effect of a uniform electric field on the dynamics of a lipid bilayer vesicle in a simple shear flow. All media are treated as leaky dielectrics and fluid motion is…

Electron transport is conventionally determined by the momentum-relaxing scattering of electrons by the host solid and its excitations. The electrical resistance is set by geometrical factors and the resistivity, which is a microscopic…
We present molecular dynamics simulations of the SPC/E model of water to probe the dynamic properties at temperatures from 350 K down to 190 K and pressures from 2.5GPa (25kbar) down to -300MPa (-3kbar). We compare our results with those…

Achieving dynamic manipulation and control of single molecules at high spatio-temporal resolution is pivotal for advancing atomic-scale computing and nanorobotics. However, this endeavour is critically challenged by complex nature of atomic…
We consider the problem of Coulomb drag resistance in bilayers of electron liquids with spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry. In the hydrodynamic regime, the viscosity tensor of such fluids has a nonvanishing odd component. In this…
Low-energy excitations play a key role in all condensed-matter systems, yet there is limited understanding of their nature in glasses, where they correspond to local rearrangements of groups of particles. Here we introduce an algorithm to…
We consider analytically and numerically head-on collision between two self-propelled drops. Each drop is driven by chemical reactions that produce or consume the concentration isotropically. The isotropic distribution of the concentration…

Fluctuation in fluorescence emission of immobilized single molecule is typically ascribed to the chromophore's intrinsic structural conformations and the influence of local environmental factors. Despite extensive research over several…
In simple fluids, such as water, invariance under parity and time-reversal symmetry imposes that the rotation of constituent 'atoms' are determined by the flow and that viscous stresses damp motion. Activation of the rotational degrees of…
Biological molecules, like all active matter, use free energy to generate force and motion which drive them out of thermal equilibrium, and undergo inherent dynamic interconversion between metastable free energy states separated by levels…
