Origin of the inverse temperature dependence of hydrophobic attraction

Using enhanced sampling techniques, we have precisely characterized the water-mediated interactions between nanometer-sized spherical hydrophobic solutes. The interaction potential is captured with remarkable accuracy by a tailored morphometric theory that distills and integrates essential physical...
