Cathodic corrosion is an electrochemical phenomenon that dramatically etches metals under commonly used electrocatalytic conditions. Though cathodic corrosion is thought to occur by forming a metal-containing anion, such an ion has not yet been observed
Synaptic plasticity, the dynamic tuning of communication strength between neurons, serves as a fundamental basis for memory and learning in biological organisms. This adaptive nature of synapses is considered one of the key features contributing to the

Modified nucleic acids have surged as a popular therapeutic route, emphasizing the importance of nucleic acid research in drug discovery and development. Beyond well-known RNA vaccines, antisense oligonucleotides and aptamers can incorporate various
We present an \it ab initio} method for computing vibro-polariton and phonon-polariton spectra of molecules and solids coupled to the photon modes of optical cavities. We demonstrate that if interactions of cavity photon modes with both nuclear and
In biology, mechanosensitive ion channels facilitate the conversion of mechanical stimuli, such as sound and touch, into electrical signals. Similar functionality in artificial systems was recently predicted in the form of stretch-activated transport

We develop a multiscale coarse-grain model of the NIST Monoclonal Antibody Reference Material 8671 (NISTmAb) to enable systematic computational investigations of high-concentration physical instabilities such as phase separation, clustering, and
FEASST is an open-source Monte Carlo software for particle-based simulations. This software, which was released in 2017, has been used to study phase equilibrium, self-assembly, aggregation or gelation in biological materials, colloids, polymers, ionic
Theories of small systems play an important role in the fundamental understanding of finite size effects in statistical mechanics, as well as the validation of molecular simulation results as no computer can simulate fluids in the thermodynamic limit

Hydrocarbons are ubiquitous as fuels, solvents, lubricants, and as the principal components of plastics and fibers, yet our ability to predict their dynamical properties is limited to force-field mechanics. Here, we report two machine-learned potential
In the pursuit of innovative molecular catalysts for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2, we employed computational methodologies to investigate six Cu-based expanded porphyrin dual-atom catalysts (DACs). Our study revealed both large and small
In this comprehensive study, we investigated the catalytic potential of seven transition metal-salen (TM-salen) complexes for the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) using ab initio methods. Our findings revealed distinct catalytic behavior among the TM
The enthalpies of formation of brominated C3–C4 hydrocarbons were critically evaluated using experimental data sources ranging from classical thermodynamics methods to modern high-precision mass spectrometry and reported in a time span of a century. The
In living organisms, information is processed in interconnected symphonies of ionic currents spiking through protein ion channels. As a result of dynamic switching of their conductive states, ion channels exhibit a variety of current–voltage nonlinearities

The four-body nonadditive contribution to the energy of four helium atoms is calculated and fitted for all geometries for which the internuclear distances exceed a small minimum value. The interpolation uses an active learning approach based on Gaussian
The dosing and efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs can be limited by toxicity caused by off-pathway reactions. One hypothesis for how such toxicity arises is via metal-catalyzed oxidative damage of cardiac myosin binding protein C (cMyBP-C) found in cardiac
