The giant planets were the first to form and hold the key to unveiling the solar system's
formation history in their interiors and atmospheres. Furthermore, the unique conditions …

Tidal interactions between moons and planets can have major effects on the orbits, spins,
and thermal evolution of the moons. In the Saturn system, tidal dissipation in the planet …

The five large moons of Uranus are important targets for future spacecraft missions. To
motivate and inform the exploration of these moons, we model their internal evolution …

We compute the thermal conductivity of water within linear response theory from equilibrium
molecular dynamics simulations, by adopting two different approaches. In one, the potential …

Despite governing heat management in any realistic device, the microscopic mechanisms of
heat transport in all-solid-state electrolytes are poorly known: existing calculations, all based …

The effects of the finite size of the simulation box in equilibrium molecular dynamics
simulations are investigated for prototypical superionic conductors of different types, namely …

The Voyager spacecraft discovered that the ice giants Uranus and Neptune have nondipolar
magnetic fields, defying expectations that a thick interior layer of planetary ices would …

Giant planets acquire gas, ices and rocks during the early formation stages of planetary
systems and thus inform us on the formation process itself. Proceeding from inside out …

Thermal evolution models suggest that the luminosities of both Uranus and Neptune are
inconsistent with the classical assumption of an adiabatic interior. Such models commonly …

Due to their potential role in the peculiar geophysical properties of the ice giants Neptune
and Uranus, there has been a growing interest in superionic (SI) phases of water ice. So far …
