Particles composed of secondary organic material (SOM) are abundant in the lower troposphere. The viscosity of these particles is a fundamental property that is presently poorly quantified yet required for accurate modeling of their formation, growth, evaporation, and environmental impacts. ...

A variety of experimental and computational analyses support the concept that a chemical reaction has a transition region, in which the system changes from distorted states of the reactants to distorted states of the products. The boundaries of this region along the intrinsic reaction ...

The interaction between asphaltenes and clay is crucial in understanding wettability changes in petroleum reservoirs and in oilsands production. In this study, we report the changes in surface properties and composition of kaolin clay as a result of exposure to solutions of asphaltenes. ...

The interaction energies between an argon atom and the dihalogens Br2, BrCl, and BrF have been investigated using frozen core CCSD(T)(fc)/aug-cc-pVQZ calculations as reference values for other levels of theory. The potential-energy hypersurfaces show two types of minima: (1) collinear with ...

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) mediate the exchange of macromolecules between the cytoplasm and the nucleoplasm. Soluble nuclear transport receptors bind signal-dependent cargos to form transport complexes that diffuse through the NPC and are then disassembled. Although transport receptors ...
