It is often said that well-entangled and fast-breaking living polymers (such as wormlike micelles) exhibit a single relaxation time in their reptation dynamics, but the full story is somewhat more complicated. Understanding departures from…
The extraction of inhomogeneous 3-dimensional densities around tagged solutes from molecular simulations is known to have a very high computational cost because this is traditionally performed by collecting histograms, with each discrete…

We theoretically study physical properties of one-dimensionally and regularly placed solutes. The solute is rigid-body, has arrow-like shape, and changes its direction up or down. If the solutes are immersed in continuum solvent, nothing…
Recent theory and experiments have shown how the buildup of a high-concentration polymer layer at a one-dimensional solvent-air interface can lead to an evaporation rate that scales with time as $t^{-1/2}$ and that is insensitive to the…
