Submit to this Special Topic today View in Browser SUBMIT AN ARTICLE MANAGE MY ALERTS ABOUT THE JOURNAL The Journal of Chemical Physics Call for Papers Special Topic- Water: Molecular Origins of its Anomalies Water shapes our blue planet, forms clouds, drives the climate, is a unique solvent in chemistry, the 'elixir of life' in biology, and a complex fluid with a multitude of anomalies in its phase behavior in physics. Despite its importance, a full understanding of the behavior of water in its various forms and systems has remained challenging. This Special Topic issue will highlight recent progress in understanding water behavior, in supercooled, stretched, pressurized, supercritical and normal conditions, through advanced molecular probes of structure and dynamics of water. Articles reporting novel research involving experiment, theory, and simulation of water in all its many phases and at the interface with other materials are welcome.   Topics covered include, but are not limited to: • Experimental and theoretical studies of the phase behavior of water, including far from equilibrium conditions, crystalline and amorphous ice phases, e.g. Studies of physiochemical and thermophysical properties Liquid-liquid transition and critical point Nucleation and growth of ice Glass transition and polyamorphism Cavitation and nanobubble formation in bulk and on solid–liquid interfaces • Confined water • Nano-fluidics • Nuclear quantum effects • Water (auto-)dissociation • Proton transfer in water • Advances in simulating water e.g. Interaction potentials Electronic and quantum effects on the interaction potential Utilizing machine learning and neural network potentials • Aqueous solutions, interfaces and surfaces Premelting on ice surfaces, Effect of surfaces on heterogeneous ice nucleation Chemical reactions catalyzed by aqueous and ice surfaces Hydration of (bio)molecules Antifreeze strategies Hydrate formation and stability • In general, novel experimental and theoretical approaches for studying molecular water Guest Editors Chantal Valeriani, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Claudia Goy, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) Christoph Salzmann, University College London Ying Jiang, Peking University Gregory Kimmel, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory JCP Editors Mischa Bonn, Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research Francesco Sciortino, Universita di Roma La Sapienza Angelos Michaelides, University of Cambridge Submission Deadline: February 28, 2024 LEARN MORE > Tell Us What You Think!
