The first simulation worked. It runs only for 3 ps, but mixes 3 things I have not done before. MD using a box, to avoid volatilization of the solvents, #AIMNet2, which is quite fast and appropriate for my systems, and Packmol for making realistic mixtures. #compchem #chemsky #orca

Europe’s 24-point peace plan calls for a ceasefire, third-party monitoring, and talks based on current front lines. It includes full POW swaps, return of civilians, NATO guarantees, no limits on Ukraine’s military, and control of ZNPP and key infrastructure. Russian assets funds Ukraine’s recovery.

This is fun, but the photo is doctored. The actual “day in the future” is (was…) October 21, 2015, and I distinctly remember watching BTTF-2 on that day at the Waterfront. A DeLorean was parked outside the movie theater. People complained that there were no hoverboards. 😉
