The formation of a spanning hydrogen-bonded network of hydration water is found to occur via a 2D percolation transition in various systems: smooth hydrophilic surfaces, the surface of a single protein molecule, protein powder and diluted…

Gas-solid reactions are cornerstones of many catalytic and redox processes that will underpin the energy and sustainability transition. The specific case of hydrogen-based iron oxide reduction is the foundation to render the global steel…

Hydrogels have had a profound impact in the fields of tissue engineering, drug delivery, and materials science as a whole. Due to the network architecture of these materials, imbibement with water often results in uniform swelling and…

In approximating solutions of nonstationary problems, various approaches are used to compute the solution at a new time level from a number of simpler (sub-)problems. Among these approaches are splitting methods. Standard splitting schemes…

The dissolution and subsequent mass transfer of carbon dioxide gas into liquid barriers plays a vital role in many environmental and industrial applications. In this work, we study the downward dissolution and propagation dynamics of CO2…

The hydration of ions in nanoscale hydrated clusters is ubiquitous and essential in many physical and chemical processes. Here we show that the hydrolysis reaction is strongly affected by relative humidity. The hydrolysis of CO32- with n =…

The interaction of a quantum system with its environment limits its coherence time. This, in particular, restricts the utility of qubits in quantum information processing applications. In this paper, we show that the decoherence of a…

The transition of a warm dense fluid hydrogen from insulator to a conducting state at pressures of the order of 20-300 GPa and temperatures of 1000-5000 K has been the subject of active scientific research over the past few decades. The use…

The distribution and processing of quantum entanglement form the basis of quantum communication and quantum computing. The realization of the two is difficult because quantum information inherently has a high susceptibility to decoherence,…

The scattering processes of exotic atoms in excited states from hydrogen such as elastic scattering, Stark transitions and Coulomb de-excitation are studied within a close coupling approach. The vacuum polarization and the strong…

Inspired by dense contractile tissues, where cells are subject to periodic deformation, we formulate and study a generic hydrodynamic theory of pulsating active liquids. Combining mechanical and phenomenological arguments, we postulate that…

Solar water splitting has received a lot of attention due to its high efficiency and clean energy production potential. Herein, based on the band alignment principle, the g-C3N4/TiO2-B(001) heterostructure is strategically designed, then a…

The so-called method of phase synchronization has been advocated in a number of papers as a way of decoupling a system of linear second-order differential equations by a linear transformation of coordinates and velocities. This is a rather…

Several oil-water separation techniques have been proposed to improve the capacity of cleaning water. With the technological possibility of producing materials with antagonist wetting behavior, as for example a substrate that repeal water…

Multiple time-scale algorithms exploit the natural separation of time-scales in chemical systems to greatly accelerate the efficiency of molecular dynamics simulations. Although the utility of these methods in systems where the interactions…

The growing coupling among electricity, gas, and hydrogen systems is driven by green hydrogen blending into existing natural gas pipelines, paving the way toward a renewable-dominated energy future. However, the integration poses…

Chemical looping water splitting systems operate at relatively high temperatures (450-800 degree C) to produce, purify, or store hydrogen by the cyclic reduction and oxidation (redox) of a solid oxygen carrier. Therefore, to improve…

Using an activation mechanism reproducing facilitation, a dynamic phase transition triggered by a few active molecules was recently found in a supercooled model liquid. Prompted by this finding we investigate the presence of a similar…

As an alternative approach to ionic data transmission with hydrogel as substrate, this work explores the possible applications of liquid electrolyte filling cavity of a stretchable, flexible elastomeric tubing, which is the primary…

We study the thermodynamic behavior of nonpolar liquid mixtures in the vicinity of curved charged objects, such as electrodes or charged colloids. For small enough charge on the object, or equivalently, small potential, the…
