The Bohr model, introduced by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913, was a key step on the journey to understand atoms. Ancient Greek thinkers already believed that matter was composed of tiny basic ...

Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: ...

For more than half a century, materials scientists have struggled with how to simulate the complexity of polymer materials.

Temperature adds another challenge. Standard DFT is essentially a zero-temperature approach, so thermal effects must be ...
