We examine the role of electronic polarizability in water on short (tens of femtoseconds), intermediate (hundreds of femtoseconds), and long (≈1 ps) time scales by comparing molecular dynamics results ...

You might think that a hot object pushes atoms and molecules away due to radiation pressure. But a research team showed that for a polarizable atom, the opposite occurs: the hot object attracts it.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract An explicitly polarizable force field based exclusively on quantum data is applied to calculations of relative binding affinities of ligands ...

Magnetocaloric and electrocaloric effects are driven by doing work, but this work has barely been explored, even though these caloric effects are being exploited in a growing number of prototype ...

The outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza virus in the US is now 1 year old. The virus, commonly known as bird flu, has wrought havoc in the agricultural sector and prompted a dramatic increase in the ...
