Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) beyond crystallinity: amorphous MOFs, MOF liquids and MOF glasses

J Fonseca, T Gong, L Jiao, HL Jiang - Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
The field of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been incorrectly believed to be purely
crystalline. However, non-crystalline MOFs (amorphous MOFs, MOF liquids, and MOF …

Regulation of microtubule dynamics, mechanics and function through the growing tip

NB Gudimchuk, JR McIntosh - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2021 - nature.com
Microtubule dynamics and their control are essential for the normal function and division of
all eukaryotic cells. This plethora of functions is, in large part, supported by dynamic …

Water: A tale of two liquids

P Gallo, K Amann-Winkel, CA Angell… - Chemical …, 2016 - ACS Publications
Water is the most abundant liquid on earth and also the substance with the largest number
of anomalies in its properties. It is a prerequisite for life and as such a most important subject …

Advances in the study of supercooled water

P Gallo, J Bachler, LE Bove, R Böhmer… - The European Physical …, 2021 - Springer
In this review, we report recent progress in the field of supercooled water. Due to its
uniqueness, water presents numerous anomalies with respect to most simple liquids …

Viscosity in water from first-principles and deep-neural-network simulations

C Malosso, L Zhang, R Car, S Baroni… - npj Computational …, 2022 - nature.com
We report on an extensive study of the viscosity of liquid water at near-ambient conditions,
performed within the Green-Kubo theory of linear response and equilibrium ab initio …

Microtubules grow by the addition of bent guanosine triphosphate tubulin to the tips of curved protofilaments

JR McIntosh, E O'Toole, G Morgan, J Austin… - Journal of Cell …, 2018 - rupress.org
We used electron tomography to examine microtubules (MTs) growing from pure tubulin in
vitro as well as two classes of MTs growing in cells from six species. The tips of all these …

Origin of the emergent fragile-to-strong transition in supercooled water

R Shi, J Russo, H Tanaka - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2018 - pnas.org
Liquids can be broadly classified into two categories, fragile and strong ones, depending on
how their dynamical properties change with temperature. The dynamics of a strong liquid …

The anomalies and criticality of liquid water

R Shi, H Tanaka - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 - pnas.org
The origin of water's anomalies has been a matter of long-standing debate. A two-state
model, dating back to Röntgen, relies on the dynamical coexistence of two types of local …

[HTML][HTML] A physically constrained classical description of the homogeneous nucleation of ice in water

T Koop, BJ Murray - The Journal of chemical physics, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
Liquid water can persist in a supercooled state to below 238 K in the Earth's atmosphere, a
temperature range where homogeneous nucleation becomes increasingly probable …

Polymer glass formation: Role of activation free energy, configurational entropy, and collective motion

WS Xu, JF Douglas, ZY Sun - Macromolecules, 2021 - ACS Publications
We provide a perspective on polymer glass formation, with an emphasis on models in which
the fluid entropy and collective particle motion dominate the theoretical description and data …
