🚨 Just published in @J_A_C_S! 🚨. What happens to the pH of #water when it’s squeezed into a space thinner than a nanometer?🤔. 👉 In our latest study, we show that sub-nanometer confinement suppresses #water autoionization, raising its pKw by more than

🎉 Big news from our group!. Our former #PhD student Teri Lambros is kicking off his independent career as an Assistant Professor of Physics at CSU-Fullerton (@csuf)! 👏. In our group, Teri pushed QM/MM approaches with #datadriven #manybody potentials and extended our #manybody

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

🥤 Today we had a special farewell boba tea with Dr. Ruihan Zhou! 🏄‍♂️. Ruihan took our #datadriven #manybody potentials from small molecules all the way to peptides 🧬 , opening the door to protein simulations with coupled-cluster accuracy 🔥. A leap toward predictive,

RT @UCSDChemBiochem: 🎉 Congrats to Prof. Vicki Grassian on her #Festschrift in @JPhysChem A! This special issue celebrates her trailblazing….

RT @UCSDChemBiochem: New from @MikeBurkartUCSD in @NatureComms: dual crosslinking + cryo-EM capture M. tuberculosis mycocerosic acid syntha….

Every summer we celebrate a special tradition in our group: the passing of #Quelo ✨. This year, Etienne, Hilliary, Ruihan, and Yuanhui graduated 🎓 and handed #Quelo to the new 5th-year #pirates: Richa, Henry, Cianna, Ethan, and Xuanyu! 🚀. Here’s to a new year of discoveries

Big congratulations to Prof. Josh Figueroa for winning the 2026 @AmerChemSociety F. Albert Cotton Award! 👏 An amazing honor that highlights his fantastic work in organometallic chemistry. @UCSanDiego @UCSDPhySci @UCSDChemBiochem.

Big congratulations to Prof. Akif Tezcan on the 2026 @AmerChemSociety Alfred Bader Award! 🎉 Well-deserved recognition for his creative work bridging chemistry and biology. @UCSanDiego @UCSDPhySci @UCSDChemBiochem.

Interesting read. 😎.

🚨 Just published in @ChemMater! 🚨. What really controls stacking and electronic properties in 2D #COFs? Spoiler: it’s not simple donor vs acceptor chemistry. 🤯. 👉 In our study, we show that:.✅ van der Waals interactions set the preference for slipped

Congrats! 🎉.

🎉 Huge congratulations to Dr. Ruihan Zhou on a stellar #PhD defense!. Ruihan took our #datadriven #manybody potentials from small molecules all the way to peptides 🧬, opening the door to protein simulations with coupled-cluster accuracy 🔥. This is a leap toward predictive,

🚨 New preprint on @ChemRxiv! 🚨. Can we model #biomolecules 🧬 in #water 🌊 with chemical accuracy? We’re getting there! 🏄‍♀️. 👉 In this work, we extend our #datadriven #manybody MB-nrg formalism to model #biomolecules in MB-pol #water, bringing CCSD(T)

Out in @PNASNews: Szukalo, Giovambattista & Debenedetti use DP_MBpol, our #machinelearning DNN@MB-pol model trained on MB-pol (, to explore glassy #water and its transformations between low-density (LDA) and high-density (HDA) forms. 😎. 👉

⚓️ The #PaesaniGroup pirates have landed at the GRC Chemistry & Physics of Liquids (!. Richa, Xuanyu, Henry, and Suman are ready for a week packed with liquid-state science and good discussions. If you’re here too, come say hi during the poster sessions!
