Annual Review of Physical Chemistry 2011

Among the trends reported in this year's review are complex systems required course-grained theoretical methods, biological problems in protein folding, detecting nano-domains in living systems, and fluctuation correlation spectroscopy problems. The prefactory article is by Benjamin Widom of Cornell University, who works in thermodynamics, kinetics and statistical mechanics. Among the topics are dynamics of nano-confined supercooled liquids, simulated chemistry using quantum computers, hydrated acid clusters, reorientation and allied dynamics in water and aqueous solutions, the density matrix renormalization group in quantum chemistry, roaming radicals, and non-adiabetic events and conical intersections.
