Solvation Free Energies from Machine Learning Molecular Dynamics

Nicola Marzari, Nicéphore Arthur François Bonnet

The present work proposes an extension to the approach of [Xi, C; et al. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2022, 18, 6878] to calculate ion solvation free energies from first-principles (FP) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a hybrid solvation model. The approa ...

Control-oriented modeling and analysis of tubular dielectric elastomer actuators dedicated to cardiac assist devices

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Armando Matthieu Walter, Ning Liu

This paper deals with the control-oriented modeling of a multilayered dielectric elastomer actuator based tube. The actuator is clamped at both sides and performs a radial displacement. The hyperelastic deformation and the viscoelastic performance, togethe ...

Failure mechanism of fine-grained soil-structure interface for energy piles

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera

The response of the soil-structure interface can significantly affect the performance of any geotechnical structure. Thermal cycles are a new factor that influence the response to all structures that have an energy function in addition to the structural on ...

In situ work function measurements of W, WO3 nanostructured surfaces

Francisco Sanchez

Surface nanostructuring enables the fabrication of materials with highly desirable properties. Nanostructured tungsten surfaces have potential applications in solar water splitting. Exposing a polished tungsten surface to helium plasma induces various surf ...

Mass-Zero constrained dynamics and statistics for the shell model in magnetic field

Sara Bonella

In several domains of physics, including first principle simulations and classical models for polarizable systems, the minimization of an energy function with respect to a set of auxiliary variables must be performed to define the dynamics of physical degr ...

Dissipation-driven selection of states in non-equilibrium chemical networks

Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello, Shiling Liang, Francesco Piazza

Life has most likely originated as a consequence of processes taking place in non-equilibrium conditions (e.g. in the proximity of deep-sea thermal vents) selecting states of matter that would have been otherwise unfavorable at equilibrium. Here we present ...

How the first wave of COVID-19 in Switzerland affected residential preferences

Vincent Kaufmann, Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani, Livia Bianca Fritz, Ralph Hansmann

During the first wave of COVID-19, residents’ health and well-being were challenged as residential environments suddenly had to accommodate most of the functions of an urban system. Although scholars and practitioners have proposed reconsidering dwelling r ...
