How are water's material properties encoded within the structure of the water molecule? This
is pertinent to understanding Earth's living systems, its materials, its geochemistry and …

The aversion of hydrophobic solutes for water drives diverse interactions and assemblies
across materials science, biology, and beyond. Here, we review the theoretical …

Elucidating the population dynamics of correlated electron-hole pairs (bound excitons) in
semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) is key for developing our fundamental understanding of …

Interactions between proteins lie at the heart of numerous biological processes and are
essential for the proper functioning of the cell. Although the importance of hydrophobic …

The adsorption of ions to aqueous interfaces is a phenomenon that profoundly influences
vital processes in many areas of science, including biology, atmospheric chemistry …

Experiments and computer simulations have established that liquid water's surfaces can
deviate in important ways from familiar bulk behavior. Even in the simplest case of an air …

The hydrophobicity of proteins and similar surfaces, which display chemical heterogeneity at
the nanoscale, drives countless aqueous interactions and assemblies. However, predicting …

We investigate the origin of the density depletion and enhanced density fluctuations that
occur in water in the vicinity of an extended hydrophobic solute. We argue that both …

A thorough exploration of the molecular basis for hydrophobicity with a comprehensive set of
theoretical tools and an extensive set of organic solvent S/water binary systems is discussed …

Simulations of water near extended hydrophobic spherical solutes have revealed the
presence of a region of depleted density and accompanying enhanced density fluctuations …
