An artistic, mosaic-style depiction of the "waveform combination lock" operating in a fluid environment. Marine creatures—such as the predatory fish perfectly aligning with a nautilus shell, and paired starfish—utilize complementary surface geometries to achieve constructive wave coherence and tightly bind together. Conversely, the crab on the right holding a mismatched scallop triggers destructive "coherent cancellation," causing the net attraction to instantly vanish.

Abstract Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Classical force fields critically determine the reliability of molecular simulations, yet simultaneous optimization of their high-dimensional parameters remains inefficient and risks disrupting cross-system compatibility. Using alkane melting points as the target property, this work systematically investigates how scaling individual parameters in multiscale force fields affects prediction accuracy.
