Concluding remarks: Dense ionic fluids: because sometimes, more is more.

It is a formidable challenge, and a distinct privilege, to provide the concluding remarks for this on Dense Ionic Fluids (DIFs). What follows is an inherently subjective distillation of the insights that have shaped our understanding of these complex systems over the last few days, with the goal of capturing the essence of the Discussion and providing suggestions for future investigations in this rapidly evolving field. DIFs are a fascinating class of electrolyte systems characterized by high ion concentrations in correlated domains. The multiscale nature of DIFs, and the challenges in connecting nanoscale phenomena to bulk properties, are discussed in the context of contemporary experimental and computational methods. Next, emerging trends are explored, and then the paper concludes by identifying promising future research directions.
