New hydrodynamic theory helps to understand the correlation of ions

In their theoretical work, Dr. Diddo Diddens from Helmholtz Institute Münster of Forschungszentrum Jülich and Prof. Andreas Heuer from the Helmholtz Institute Münster and the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the University of Münster investigated the central question of the extent to which ions in liquid electrolytes move statistically correlated, i.e. together, in one direction.
