ERmod-OpenACC is a GPU-accelerated implementation of a calculation package for the solvation free energy. In the implementation, the most computationally intensive processes-the calculation of the pair energies and the construction of the correlation function-have been optimized for GPUs. ERmod-OpenACC also supports single precision to maximize performance on RTX series GPUs, which are commonly used in molecular dynamics simulations. A common problem with OpenACC is data transfer between the CPU and GPU. By minimizing data transfer, the package's performance has been significantly improved. Compared to a single Xeon core (3.1 GHz), ERmod-OpenACC achieves a speedup of up to approximately when running on RTX 4080 SUPER. The package also supports multiple GPUs via MPI, achieving a speedup of with 2 GPUs and approximately with 16 GPUs. The only external library required to compile ERmod-ACC is NVIDIA HPC SDK. The package is available at https://github.com/drmaruyama/ermod-openacc.

In this work, a natural zwitterionic, betaine with varied dosages (4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and 12%, w/v) was used to improve the freeze-thaw stability of frozen surimi gels. Specifically, Group 8B-S (8% betaine, w/v) increased gel strength and storage modulus of frozen surimi gels by 25.03% and 26.

Despite the potential of Zn metal batteries (ZMBs) due to their low cost, environmental benefits, and favorable Zn/Zn redox potential, challenges such as low Zn utilization and parasitic reactions hinder their performance. These issues arise from the thermodynamic instability of the Zn anode and high-desolvation energy barriers. To overcome these challenges, this study investigates two zwitterionic compounds with hydrophilic and zincophilic functional groups, BES (N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) and MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid), selecting BES as the optimal electrolyte additive.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage; however, uncontrolled interfacial water remains a major hurdle, limiting both anode stability and ion transport. In this study, 2-picolinaldehyde (2PA) was chosen as a reversible hydration modulator (RHM) that enables dynamic regulation of interfacial free water. Spectroscopic and computational analyses revealed that RHM captures excess water during plating to suppress hydrogen evolution and corrosion while releasing water during stripping to facilitate Zn solvation and migration.

Low-energy solvated electrons can be captured by nitrogenous bases and localized on the nucleic acid to form a stable anion. The interaction between electrons and the bases is related to alterations in the stability and function of nucleic acids. Here, we report the theoretical-computational estimates of the adiabatic electron affinities (AEAs) and the reduction potentials of the nucleobases in solution.

Zinc (Zn) anode shows great potential for aqueous zinc-ion batteries yet faces persistent issues of dendritic growth and parasitic reactions at the interface. Here, six polyol additives with different hydroxylated carbon chain lengths are systematically studied under standardized conditions as interfacial regulators for optimizing Zn plating behavior. The calculations coupled with experimental analyses reveal a critical chain-length dependence: short-chain polyols prioritize Zn migration and desolvation but insufficiently protect the interface, whereas long-chain polyols lead to excessive kinetic barriers despite effective interfacial stabilization.
