Back in the old days—the really old days—the task of designing materials was laborious. Investigators, over the course of 1,000-plus years, tried to make gold by combining things like lead, mercury, ...
The arrangement of electrons in matter, known as the electronic structure, plays a crucial role in fundamental but also applied research, such as drug design and energy storage. However, the lack of a ...
When experiments are impractical, density functional theory (DFT) calculations can give researchers accurate approximations of chemical properties. The mathematical equations that underpin the ...
