The paper explores in detail the intricate relationship between the results of the quantum-chemical calculations and the approximations they rely upon. When chemists want (or need) to include some ...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) has emerged as a cornerstone in modern computational chemistry, offering a robust framework to predict and elucidate molecular structures and reaction mechanisms. By ...

Chemists use density functional theory (DFT) to accurately approximate the exact properties—like free energies—of molecules or materials in a reasonable amount of time. The method is widely used even ...

Understanding how molecules interact with metal surfaces is fundamental to catalysis and surface chemistry. However, traditional computational methods face a trade-off: achieving high accuracy often ...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have become a ubiquitous feature of journal articles in all of chemistry’s subdisciplines, used by researchers to electronically characterize molecules or ...

My group started working on hybrid DFT three years ago when we began our collaboration with the Park group, with whom we were trying to understand the properties of conducting metal-organic frameworks ...

Due to its high electron mobilities at ambient temperature and peculiar electronic behaviors like the quantum hall effect, which imitates massless transportation and results in high superconductivity, ...

There is more than one way to describe a water molecule, especially when communicating with a machine learning (ML) model, says chemist Robert DiStasio. You can feed the algorithm the molecule's ...
