Although improving photosynthetic efficiency is widely recognized as an underutilized strategy to increase crop yields, research in this area is strongly biased towards species with C3 photosynthesis relative to C4 species....
Abstract: The methodology to simulate transport phenomena in bulk systems is well-established. In contrast, there is no clear consensus about the choice of techniques to model cross-transport phenomena and phoretic transport...
The Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential (LJ) is arguably the most widely used pair potential in molecular simulations. In fact, it is so popular that the question is rarely asked whether it is fit for purpose. In this paper, we argue...
If a thermal gradient is applied along a fluid-solid interface, the fluid experiences a thermo-osmotic force. In the steady state, this force is balanced by the gradient of the shear stress. Surprisingly, there appears to be no...

The organization of nanoparticles inside grafted polymer layers is governed by the interplay of polymer-induced entropic interactions and the action of externally applied fields. Earlier work had shown that strong external...
