"Ghost particle" ML model permits full quantum description of the solvated electron
E-Mail IMAGE: The dynamics run with the resulting ML PES was not only able to recover the stable cavity, but could also trace the correct localization dynamics view more Credit: @Vladimir Rybkin The behavior of the solvated electron e-aq has fundamental implications for electrochemistry, photochemistry, high-energy chemistry, as well as for biology--its nonequilibrium precursor is responsible for radiation damage to DNA--and it has understandably been the topic of experimental and theoretical investigation for more than 50 years. Though the hydrated electron appears to be simple-...
