The molecular structure of lubricant additives controls not only their adsorption and dissociation behaviour at the nanoscale, but also their ability to reduce friction and wear at the macroscale. Here, we show using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations with a reactive force…

From astronomy to the surveying of greenhouse gases, a wide range of science and engineering applications rely on the detection of mid-infrared (mid-IR) photons. However, because photons from the mid-IR have less than a tenth of the energy of the…

Here, the group of Jochen Blumberger contributed the the modelling and molecular interpretation of ultrafast pump-probe spectrocopy experiments carried out by collaborators at the University of East Anglia. The team reports exceptionally high rates for heme-to-heme electron transfer, on the…
