Much faster vibrational spectra with Mode Refinement (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week, Ole demonstrates how the mode refinement in AMS can save you a lot of compute time when calculating vibrational spectra.

Online COSMO-RS/SAC workshop in Chinese

Please join Wei-Lin Chen and our partner FermiTech for an online workshop on COSMO-RS and COSMO-SAC on 4 November 2022, 3pm BeiJing Standard Time. Wei-Lin will introduce the theory about the Continuum Solvation Model and...

Ultalight aerogels from protein aggregate pyrolysis – experiments and ReaxFF simulations

The integration of two-dimensional (2D)-graphene (G) and one-dimensional (1D) carbon fibers (CF) has excellent potential as a new type of carbon structure. Yet, it remains largely unexplored mainly because of the inability to fabricate such...

Strong NMR enhancement: PHIP-X

NMR signals are often too weak for many chemical and biomedical applications such as reaction monitoring or the real time investigation of metabolism in-vivo. A new method has been developed to enhance NMR signals: parahydrogen-induced...

Reparametrization of COSMO-RS for (polymer) ionic liquids

COSMO-based model for gas solubility in polymer ionic liquids (2021 paper) Gas solubility in polymers plays an important role in processing advanced polymer materials. An important and relatively unexplored class of polymers is polymer ionic...

Improved absolute configuration determination of complex molecules with VCD

All biological systems are three-dimensional and determining the exact configuration of the system is important for pharmaceutical applications and drug design. However, determining 3D-structures is complicated and difficult. Vibrational circular dichroism is a method using...

SCM at AIChE, Orlando

Come and talk to Nick about your chemical engineering challenges at the annual AIChE meeting mid-November in Orlando. At the SCM booth (#143) he’ll be happy to discuss how the COSMO-RS module in the Amsterdam...

ReaxFF strikes back: the return of the gold nanoparticles

Their delivery power awakens In a recent combined experimental and computational study, it was shown that ReaxFF can realistically describe functonalized gold nanoparticles to understand and predict antibiotic release. This proves great promise for simulations...

COSMO-RS: Prediction of cellulose solubilities in ionic liquids

In a recent publication Yunhan Chu et al. have presented an automated computational framework for the prediction of cellulose solubilities in ionic liquids based on COSMO-RS. The logarithmic activity coefficients and excess enthalpies were calculated...

COSMO-RS: Fast sigma profile estimations and new UNIFAC implementation

Fast estimation of sigma profiles for high-throughput screening Thermodynamic properties of liquids and solutions can now be very quickly predicted, through fast approximations of sigma profiles through SMILES strings or xyz coordinates. These new fast...
