Order of obstacles: Scientists take a closer look at ice-like surfaces with spectroscopy, simulation and machine learning
Graphical abstract. Credit: Jacs Au (2025). doi: 10.1021/jacsau.4c00957 Ice can speed up molecule adsorption or stickiness, just as the tongue freezes to a frozen metal pole. The surface of ice can break down molecules in the presence of light and release trace gases. Before researchers can measure these responses and incorporate their effects into global atmospheric models, researchers must first…

A new strategy to simulate nonadiabatic dynamics of molecules on metal surfaces
Schematic workflow for nonadiabatic dynamics simulation of a molecule (e.g. CO) on a metal surface. Credit: Prof. Jiang’s team The team proposed a new approach to accurately describe the nonadiabatic dynamics of molecular electron transfer at metal surfaces. Their work was published in Physical Review Letters. Numerous experimental phenomena have demonstrated that nonadiabatic energy transfer is widespread in various interfacial…
