Machine learning solves a long-standing DFT problem

Knowing where the electrons are within a molecule can go a long way to explaining its structure, its properties, and its reactivity. Chemists use density functional theory (DFT) methods, ...

Computational predictions of energy materials using density functional theory

In 1929, the physicist Paul Dirac wrote, “The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the ...
