Article Synopsis
- Fingerprints in primates and koalas have unique features that offer several advantages over the smooth pads of carnivorans, like cats and bears.
- The epidermal ridges on our fingers and toes reduce friction on smooth surfaces, enhance grip on rough textures, manage moisture, prevent blistering, and improve touch sensitivity.
- Research indicates that a combination of sweat pore blockage and a microfluidic evaporation mechanism maintains optimal moisture levels in the skin, boosting grip and providing primates with better manipulation and movement skills in various conditions compared to other animals.
We present an atomistic simulation scheme for the determination of the hydration number (h) of aqueous electrolyte solutions based on the calculation of the water dipole reorientation dynamics. In this methodology, the time evolution of an aqueous electrolyte solution generated from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations is used to compute the reorientation time of different water subpopulations. The value of h is determined by considering whether the reorientation time of the water subpopulations is retarded with respect to bulk-like behavior.
