Emergence of Disordered Hyperuniformity in Confined Fluids and Soft Matter
Fabio Leoni, Erdal C. Oğuz, Giancarlo Franzese
Confinement can significantly alter fluid properties, offering potential for specific technological applications. However, achieving precise control over the structural complexity…
Phase behavior of metastable water from large-scale simulations of a quantitative accurate model: The liquid-liquid critical point
Luis Enrique Coronas, Giancarlo Franzese
Water's unique anomalies are vital in various applications and biological processes, yet the molecular mechanisms behind these anomalies remain debated, particularly in the metasta…
Water-methanol mixture confined in a graphene slit-pore
Roger Bellido-Peralta, Fabio Leoni, Carles Calero +1
Efficient and sustainable techniques for separating water-methanol mixtures are in high demand in the industry. Recent studies have revealed that membranes and 2D materials could a…
Size-pore-dependent methanol sequestration from water-methanol mixtures by an embedded graphene slit
Roger Bellido-Peralta, Fabio Leoni, Carles Calero +1
The separation of liquid mixture components is relevant to many applications -- ranging from water purification to biofuel production -- and is a growing concern related to the UN…
Hydrophobic homopolymer's coil-globule transition and adsorption onto a hydrophobic surface under different conditions
Bernat Durà Faulí, Valentino Bianco, Giancarlo Franzese
Unstructured proteins can modulate cellular responses to environmental conditions by undergoing coil-globule transitions and phase separation. However, the molecular mechanisms of…
Using Car-Parrinello simulations and microscopic order descriptors to reveal two locally favored structures with distinct molecular dipole moments and dynamics in ambient liquid water
Ioannis Skarmoutsos, Giancarlo Franzese, Elvira Guardia
Water is essential for life and technological applications, mainly for its unique thermodynamic and dynamic properties, often anomalous or counterintuitive. These anomalies result…
