The diversity of RNA structural elements and their documented role in human diseases make RNA an attractive therapeutic target. However, progress in drug discovery and development has been hindered by…
Force field is a central requirement in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for accurate description of the potential energy landscape and the time evolution of individual atomic motions. Most energy models…
Polymer membranes perform innumerable separations with far-reaching environmentalimplications. Despite decades of research on membrane technologies, design of new membranematerials remains a largely Edisonian process. To address this shortcoming, we demonstrate…
CuI and pyrazine form three hybrid materials, (Yellow), (Orange), and (Red). In this work, Red was prepared using a green synthetic method, water-assisted accelerated-aging synthesis, for the first time. The…
Nonaqueous redox flow batteries are a promising technology for grid-scale energy storage, however, their commercial success relies on identifying redox active materials that exhibit extreme potentials, high solubilities in all…
