Suprises of water: results from ab-initio molecular dynamics
Abstract : Water is the most important liquid on earth. Its special properties derive from the underlying hydrogen bond network. In this talk I will focus on some aspects that contribute to make water the essential liquid in chemistry and biology, namely its dielectric properties, hydrophobic-hydrophilic effects, and the role that these effects play at the interface between water and a hydrophobic substance. The discussion will be based on recent results from ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, an approach that derives the properties of a liquid from those of its basic consituents, i.e. electrons and nuclei.
