Abstract Supercritical CO2 (SC CO2), as one of the unique fluids that possess fascinating
properties of gas and liquid, holds great promise in chemical reactions and fabrication of …

In this work, we investigate the microscopic mechanism of ion rejection phenomena during
the freezing of aqueous NaCl solutions through molecular dynamics simulations. It is found …

Seawater freezing holds significant importance in scientific and industrial applications.
However, there is a lack of in-depth understanding of the nanoscale mechanism of seawater …

Global warming causes many rockfall activities in alpine mountains, especially when ice-
filled joints in the rock mass become thawed. The warming and thawing of frozen soils and …

In France, high‐activity level wastes resulting from nuclear fission are conditioned in a
homogeneous sodium‐aluminoborosilicate glass by high‐temperature vitrification. The …

Freeze desalination is an appealing method for seawater desalination through freezing
seawater. The percentage of ions in the liquid phase, which is termed ion rejection rate, is a …

One of the most ubiquitous and technologically important phenomena in nature is the
nucleation of homogeneous flowing systems. The microscopic effects of shear on a …

Classical nucleation theory (CNT) provides a good framework for understanding the
nucleation phenomenon in metastable conditions. However, there is still no satisfactory …

Homogeneous ice nucleation involving a water flow is subject to shear, which may greatly
affect the ice nucleation rate. In this work, we investigate the homogeneous ice nucleation …

In this work, experiments, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and theoretical analysis are
conducted to study ion transport in thin carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Diverse nonlinear …
