Abstract

Electrostatic interactions play important roles in structure formation of soft condensed matters and biological systems, including the charge inversion phenomena of macroions, the aggregation of like-sign charges colloidal particles, and the DNA translocation through nanopores of cellular membrane. We use molecular dynamics simulations and show how the electrostatic forces control these processes occurring in nanometer to micron scales.
