Large-scale computational molecular models provide scientists a means to investigate the
effect of microscopic details on emergent mesoscopic behavior. Elucidating the relationship …

Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

This article gives an overview of excess-entropy scaling, the 1977 discovery by Rosenfeld
that entropy determines properties of liquids like viscosity, diffusion constant, and heat …

The rich and diverse dynamics of particle-based systems ultimately originates from the
coupling of their degrees of freedom via internal interactions. To arrive at a tractable …

Recent developments show that many liquids and solids have an approximate “hidden”
scale invariance that implies the existence of lines in the thermodynamic phase diagram, so …

Polymer–nanoparticle composites play a vital role in ongoing materials development. The
behavior of the glass transition of these materials is important for their processing and …

Coarse-grained (CG) models facilitate an efficient exploration of complex systems by
reducing the unnecessary degrees of freedom of the fine-grained (FG) system while …

We carried out atomistic simulations of water at the nanoscale, and we investigated the
dielectric response of the liquid as a function of the distance between hydrophobic confining …

Many attempts have been made to improve the energy density of supercapacitors toward
their large-scale applications in storing renewable energy. Herein, the surface wettability …

We study the diffusive dynamics of a hard-sphere fluid confined between parallel smooth
hard walls. The position-dependent diffusion coefficient normal to the walls is larger in …
