We welcome both experimental and theoretical studies, with topics of interest including but not limited to: Complex coacervation is propelled by the electrostatic association between oppositely ...
This energy overcomes the strong electrostatic forces of attraction which act in all directions between the oppositely charged ions: The strength of the ionic bonds depends on the charge on the ions.
The positive and negative areas of the water attract the oppositely charged ions in the salt and pull them apart. Show the animation: Water Dissolving Salt. Explain to students that water molecules ...
Sickness-induced sleep is a behavior conserved across species that promotes recovery from illness, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that interleukin-6-like cytokine ...
