PCCP Editor’s Choice: Ron Naaman Selects Outstanding Articles. Read now for free

Associate Editor Ron Naaman has selected some outstanding research to share with you from Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP). Read them now for free until the end of September 2020!

Born in Israel, Professor Ron Naaman earned his BSc in 1973 from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and his PhD in 1978 from the Weizmann Institute of Science. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University in California, and spent a year in the Department of Chemistry at Harvard University. In 1981, Professor Naaman joined the Weizmann Institute. From 1989-1995, Ron chaired the Institute’s Chemical Services Unit and from 1995-2000, he headed the Department of Chemical Physics. From 2008-2010, Prof. Naaman was the Chair of the Scientific Council at the Institute. Professor Naaman is the incumbent of the Aryeh and Mintzi Katzman Professorial Chair. His research focusses on studying interaction of electrons and their spin with organic and bio-related molecules.

Frontiers in molecular simulation of solvated ions, molecules and interfaces PCCP themed issue now online and free to access

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed issue Frontiers in molecular simulation of solvated ions, molecules and interfaces is now online and articles in the collection are free to access until the end of August 2020.

Predictive molecular simulation of condensed matter at finite temperature has come a long way from the first practical implementations of ab-initio or Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics thirty years ago.

Guest Edited by Professor Jochen Blumberger, Professor Marie-Pierre Gaigeot, Professor Marialore Sulpizi and Professor Rodolphe Vuilleumier, this themed issue provides a representative snapshot of latest and upcoming techniques and their applications at the forefront of this research area with a specific focus on the simulation of solvated ions, molecules and interfaces.
