Micelles Aggregation In article number 1800025 , Luigi Delle Site and co‐workers employ the adaptive resolution method as a computational magnifying glass to zoom in on the analysis of essential aspects in molecular dynamics studies. They analyze the aggregation of two micelles in water and calculate the free energy of aggregation, measurable in experiments. This is the first step of formation of more complex structures such as biological membranes, of central interest in current biophysical and biochemical research.
