Description
Summary:The article reports on the molecular dynamics of water film and salt. It mentions that the interaction between water and salt is useful in various fields of study including biology and atmospheric sciences. However, there are difficulties in the study of the native state of salt and its interaction with nanoscale water film. The article uses the density functional theory to examine interaction between water and salt.
