Homogeneous crystal nucleation in binary hard sphere mixtures is an active area of research for last two decades. Although Classical nucleation theory (CNT) gives a qualitative picture, it fails at high super saturations ...

We consider fast computation methods for simulation of dynamics of a collection of particles dispersed in an unbounded Stokesian suspension. Stokesian suspensions are of great practical interest in the manufacturing and ...

Proteins, participating in a myriad of biological function, are at the core of all cellular activities occurring within living organisms. Therapeutic proteins, hence constitute a major part of the pharmaceutical industry. ...

Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process, which has shown to possess an enhanced capability to remove a wide range of contaminants. It involves the use of a semiconductor photocatalyst and a photon source. Photocatalysis ...

Viruses cause human diseases by entering in to human cells. Many drugs have been developed that act at various stages of viral infection, but they fail due to their toxic side effects and high mutation rates of viruses. ...

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules which self-assemble at the interface in oil-water-surfactant mixtures such that the hydrophobic part, called tail, stays in oil and the remaining part, called head, resides in hydrophilic ...

Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) are an important class of electrical energy storage devices which store energy in the form of electric double layers. The charging mechanism is highly reversible physical adsorption ...

The treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection faces the challenge of drug resistance. The high mutation rate of HIV-1 allows it to develop resistance against all available drugs. New mechanisms of ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection globally affects 130-150 million people. It causes both acute and chronic infections. Due to the severe side effects and low success rates of interferon based treatments, which formed the ...

The current theoretical understanding of thermodynamics of clathrate hydrates is based on the van der Waals and Plattew (vdWP) theory developed using statistical thermodynamics approach. vdWP theory has been widely used ...
