Recent experiments on protein-folding dynamics have revealed strong evidence for internal friction effects. That is, observed relaxation times are not simply proportional to the solvent viscosity as ...

(openPR) Diamond coatings help reduce friction and wear on tools, bearings, and seals. Lubricating diamond with water considerably lowers friction. The reasons for this are not yet fully understood.

Porous two-dimensional crystals offer many promises for water desalination applications. For computer simulation to play a predictive role in this area, however, one needs to have reliable methods for ...
