Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of wood, woody residues, and agricultural waste has the potential to produce organic liquid intermediates that can be hydroprocessed to sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). In this article we present results of property

Robust, void-free Cu electrodeposition in high-aspect ratio features relies on careful tuning of electrolyte additives and electrochemical parameters for a given feature dimension or wafer pattern. Typically, Cu electrodeposition in electronics

HBV replication is initiated by the binding of polymerase (P) to epsilon (ε), a 61 nucleotide (nt) cis -acting regulatory stem-loop RNA located at the 5′-end of the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). This interaction triggers protein-primed reverse transcription and

Photothermal induced resonance (PTIR), also known as AFM IR, enables nanoscale infrared (IR) imaging and spectroscopy by using the tip of an atomic force microscope to transduce the local photothermal expansion and contraction of a sample. The signal
Atomistic simulation of the electrochemical double layer is an ambitious undertaking, requiring quantum mechanical description of electrons, phase space sampling of liquid electrolytes, and equilibration of electrolytes over nanosecond timescales. All
Setting up molecular dynamics simulations from experimentally determined structures is often complicated by a variety of factors, particularly the inclusion of carbohydrates, since these have several forms which can be linked in a variety of ways. Here we

Porous metal-organic frameworks are a class of materials with great promise in gas separation and gas storage applications. Due to the large material space, computational screening techniques have long been an important part of the scientific toolbox
A variety of OH containing molecules in their different modes of adsorption onto the rutile TiO2(110) are studied by means of density functional theory. A special focus is given to ethanol, ethylene glycol and glycerol. The different species were analyzed
True thermodynamic stability of a solid colloidal dispersion is generally unexpected, so much so that a thorough experimental validation of proposed stable systems remains incomplete. Such dispersions are underinvestigated and would be of interest because
The structural characterization of branched polymers still poses experimental challenges despite their technological potential. This lack of clarity is egregious in linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), a common industrial plastic. Here, we design a

We present a rigorous framework for fully quantum calculation of the third dielectric virial coefficient C_eps(T) of noble gases, including exchange effects. The quantum efects are taken into account with the path-integral Monte Carlo method. Calculations

Previous reports present different models for the stabilization of the Fc—FcγRI immune complex. Although accord exists on the importance of L235 in IgG1 and some hydrophobic contacts for complex stabilization, discord exists regarding the existence of

Quantum transport simulations are rapidly evolving, including the development of well–controlled tensor network techniques for many– body transport calculations. One particularly powerful approach combines matrix product states with extended reservoirs —

Quantum transport simulations require a level of discretization, often achieved through an explicit representation of the electronic reservoirs. These representations should converge to the same continuum limit, though there is a trade-off between a given
