Congrats to Connie! 🥳
Excited to see our work "Learning classical density functionals for ionic fluids" led by @annatbui.bsky.social in PRL!

How to control fluids in exotic way? Via "dielectrocapillarity"!
Incorporating the latest developments in liquid state theory, simulations and deep learning, we uncover tunable fluid manipulation with electric field gradients.
Application: arxiv.org/abs/2503.09855
Theory: arxiv.org/abs/2503.09768
