Excited to give the condensed matter talk today across Oppenheimer way @BerkeleyPhysics. Join if you want to hear about emergence in soft, warm materials driven away from equilibrium my group has been working on @UCB_Chemistry @KavliENSI

Congratulations to Aditya @gafnys on winning a poster award at #cecam55 on his work developing variational path sampling and using it to gain insights into reactivity away from equilibrium! @UCB_Chemistry @KavliENSI cecam55.cecam.org/program/
check out Amr's @AmrDodin most recent collaboration with the Saykally group in which he explore how cations--like guanidinium-- can be selectively adsorbed to the air-water interface @UCB_Chemistry arxiv.org/abs/2408.15423
Kritanjan's latest takes a fresh look at an old problem: the molecular origin of the super-Maxwellian velocity distribution of evaporating helium from water, finding that it is due to an anomalously small friction at the air-water interface arxiv.org/abs/2408.10345 @UCB_Chemistry
When is DNA like an asymmetric top? Check out @AsheshGhosh1's study on the twisted worm-like chain, a good model for DNA mechanics, whose Green's function is solved in a basis of Wigner D-functions, the eigenfunctions of the asymmetric top arxiv.org/abs/2408.08954 @UCB_Chemistry
If you are at #ACSFall2024 today, make sure to catch Rohit's talk on 2d exciton polarons in lead-halide perovskites

I'm excited to share that my article, 'Mystery Droplets Inside Cells May Play Vital Roles in Life,' has been published in Scientific American. In this piece, I discuss the physics of biomolecular condensates and reflect on my personal journey in the field. scientificamerican.com/artic…
Check out Jorge's latest, first in the group, in which he develops what we call variational time reversal, a formalism and algorithm to compute distributions of collective variables in nonequilibrium steady-states and active matter arxiv.org/abs/2406.01582 @UCB_Chemistry @NSF
Out now in @PhysRevE, our way of extending importance sampling algorithms into nonequilibrium steady-states. journals.aps.org/pre/abstrac…
In molecular simulations, one often tries to add a force to a system to speed up a rare event. Nearly always their addition obscures the dynamics by which the event would occur naturally. In Aditya’s @gafnys arXiv post he solves this problem arxiv.org/abs/2402.05414
In particular he shows that adding a specific time dependent force related to the committor allows one to study a reactive path ensemble by generating it from a collection of driven trajectories. This is possible in practice even in interacting systems @UCB_Chemistry
