Congratulations to Shuang Luo, Rahul Prasanna Misra and Professor Blankschtein for their paper titled, "Water Electric Field Induced Modulation of the Wetting of Hexagonal Boron Nitride: Insights from Multiscale Modeling of Many-Body Polarization", which has been published in ACS Nano. This paper introduces an all-atomistic polarizable force field to model the interactions of water molecules with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), including quantifying the role of polarization interactions on the contact angle of water on hBN layers.
