This research compares ionic polymers to dancers on a crowded floor. When molecular rotation and movement are restricted, viscosity rises and electrical conductivity drops. Using physics-based simulations, the study shows how molecular size and freedom of rotation control material performance, helping guide the design of safer, more efficient batteries.

This research compares Earth’s energy balance to a personal budget and examines how aerosols—especially black carbon—disturb that balance. By simulating how black carbon interacts with cloud droplets and light, the study helps improve understanding of climate impacts. The goal is better climate modeling and reducing harmful atmospheric pollution.

This research examines how atmospheric aerosols influence cloud formation and rainfall, particularly under turbulent conditions. Using a laboratory cloud chamber and computer modeling, the study investigates how particle size and concentration affect droplet growth. The findings aim to improve climate models and weather forecasting in both polluted and clean environments.
