Abstract
Although water is the most ubiquitous liquid it shows many thermodynamic and dynamic anomalies. Some of the anomalies further intensify in the supercooled regime. While many experimental and theoretical studies have focused on the thermodynamic anomalies of supercooled water, fewer studies explored the dynamical anomalies very extensively. This is due to the intricacy of the experimental measurement of the dynamical properties of supercooled water. Violation of the Stokes-Einstein relation (SER), an important relation connecting the diffusion of particles with the viscosity of the medium, is one of the major dynamical anomalies. In absence of experimentally measured viscosity, researchers used to check the validity of SER indirectly using average translational relaxation time or α-relaxation time. Very recently, the viscosity of supercooled water was accurately measured at a wide range of temperatures and pressures. This allowed direct verification of the SER at different temperature-pressure thermodynamic state points. An increasing breakdown of the SER was observed with decreasing temperature. Increasing pressure reduces the extent of breakdown. Although some well-known theories explained the above breakdown, a detailed molecular mechanism was still elusive. Recently, a translational jump-diffusion (TJD) approach has been able to quantitatively explain the breakdown of the SER in pure supercooled water and an aqueous solution of methanol. The objective of this article is to present a detailed and state-of-the-art analysis of the past and present works on the breakdown of SER in supercooled water with a specific focus on the new TJD approach for explaining the breakdown of the SER.

Abstract
We present a comparative study of size dependence of diffusion for charged and neutral solutes in water. Although both show nonmonotonicity of the size dependence of diffusion, their nature and origin are quite different. For neutral solutes, the peak position and the value of diffusion at the maximum are both independent of the solute-water interaction. Interestingly, for charged solutes, with an increase in solute-water interaction strength, the peak position shifts to lower solute sizes and with an increase in charge, it shifts to higher solute sizes. The diffusion value at the peak reduces with an increase in both solute-water interaction and solute charge. We show that all these features observed for charged solutes can be understood in terms of the interplay between ionic and nonionic interactions which is definitely absent for neutral solutes. Some of the earlier studies addressing the nonmonotonicity in diffusion did suggest the interplay between the two interactions to be the cause. However, this is the first time we show that such an interplay gives rise to the nonmonotonicity in the potential energy which is a prerequisite for obtaining the nonmonotonicity in the diffusion. Such nonmonotonicity in the potential energy is absent for neutral solutes.

Abstract
A recent experiment has measured the viscosity of water down to approximately 244 K and up to 300 MPa. The correct viscosity and translational diffusivity data at various temperature-pressure (T-P) state points allowed for checking the validity of the Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation, which accounts for the coupling between translational self-diffusion and medium viscosity. The diffusion-viscosity decoupling increases with decreasing temperature, but the increasing pressure reduces the extent of the decoupling. Earlier simulation studies explained the breakdown of the SE relation in terms of the location of the Widom line, emanating from the liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP). Although these studies made a significant contribution to the current understanding of the above phenomena, a detailed molecular picture is still lacking. Recently, our group has explained the diffusion-viscosity decoupling from a jump-diffusion perspective. The jump-diffusion coefficient, emanating from the jump translation of water molecules, is calculated using a quantitative approach for different temperatures at ambient pressure. It has been observed that jump-diffusion is the key factor for diffusion-viscosity decoupling in supercooled water. The same method is adopted in the present work to estimate the jump-diffusion coefficient for different T-P state points and, thereby, explains the role of jump-diffusion for the different extents of the SE relation breakdown at different pressures. The residual diffusion coefficient, the other component of the total diffusion that originates from small step displacement and that is calculated by subtracting the jump-diffusion coefficient from the total diffusion, is seen to be fairly coupled to the viscosity at the entire range of temperature and pressure. Furthermore, we have calculated the average number of H-bonds per water molecule and the tetrahedral order for different T-P state points and investigated an approximate correlation between the average local structure and the contribution of the jump-diffusion to the total diffusion of water. This study, therefore, puts forward a new perspective for explaining the SE relation breakdown in supercooled water under different pressure conditions.

Abstract
Mass transfer coefficients of CO2 are anomalously high in water-lean solvents as compared to aqueous amines. Such phenomena are intrinsic to the molecular and nanoscale structure of concentrated organic CO2 capture solvents. To decipher the connections, we performed in situ liquid time-of-flight secondary ionization mass spectroscopy on a representative water-lean solvent, 1-((1,3-Dimethylimidazolidin-2-ylidene)amino)propan-2-ol (IPADM-2-BOL). Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) chemical mapping of the solvent revealed that IPADM-2-BOL exhibited a heterogeneous molecular structure with regions of CO2-free solvent coexisting with clusters of zwitterionic carbonate ions. Chemical mapping were consistent with molecular dynamic simulation results, indicating CO2 diffusing through pockets and channels of unreacted solvent. The observed mesoscopic structure promotes and enhances the diffusion and reactivity of CO2, likely prevalent in other water-lean solvents. This finding suggests that if the size, shape and orientation of the domains can be controlled, more efficient CO2 capture solvents could be developed to enhance mass-transfer and uptake kinetics.

Abstract
We present a study of the dynamics of small solute particles in a solvent medium where the solute is much smaller in size, mimicking the diffusion of small particles in crowded environment. The solute exhibits Fickian diffusion arising from non-Gaussian Van Hove correlation function. Our study shows that there are at least two possible origins of this non-Gaussian behaviour: the decoupling of the solute-solvent dynamics and the intermittency in the solute motion, the latter playing a dominant role. In the former scenario when averaged over time long enough to explore different solvent environments, the dynamics recovers the Gaussian nature. In the case of intermittent dynamics the non-Gaussianity remains even after long averaging and the Gaussian behaviour is obtained at a much longer time. Our study further shows that only for an intermediate attractive solute-solvent interaction the dynamics of the solute is intermittent. The intermittency disappears for weaker or stronger attractions.

Abstract
It is, nowadays, possible to simulate biological processes in conditions that mimic the different cellular compartments. Several groups have performed these calculations using molecular models that vary in performance and accuracy. In many cases, the atomistic degrees of freedom have been eliminated, sacrificing both structural complexity and chemical specificity to be able to explore slow processes. In this review, we will discuss the insights gained from computer simulations on macromolecule diffusion, nuclear body formation, and processes involving the genetic material inside cell-mimicking spaces. We will also discuss the challenges to generate new models suitable for the simulations of biological processes on a cell scale and for cell-cycle-long times, including non-equilibrium events such as the co-translational folding, misfolding, and aggregation of proteins. A prominent role will be played by the wise choice of the structural simplifications and, simultaneously, of a relatively complex energetic description. These challenging tasks will rely on the integration of experimental and computational methods, achieved through the application of efficient algorithms. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The diffusivity of ions in liquid solutions is known either to decrease with an increase in the ion size or to have a single maximum depending on the ion size. This article presents evidence for the appearance of multiple maxima and thus multiple ion sizes with enhanced diffusivity.
