Molecular dynamics simulations have emerged as a crucial tool for elucidating the intricate behaviour of ions in various solvents. Recent advances in ab initio techniques and hybrid quantum mechanical ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once thought impossible for fluids. When they mixed nearly identical chemicals, one ...

Molecular dynamics is a computational simulation technique in which the time evolution of a molecular system is obtained by numerically integrating Newton’s equations of motion for atoms or ...

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) demonstrate remarkable advantages in high safety, abundant reserves, and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, the zinc metal anode fails to deliver optimal performance ...

Molecular engineering of a zinc battery co-solvent improves plating stability, suppresses side reactions, and delivers near-perfect efficiency through a single functional group substitution. (Nanowerk ...

A research team led by Prof. JIANG Ling and Prof. LI Gang from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that only three water molecules can separate ...
