A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

Cycloaddition reactions represent a cornerstone of synthetic organic chemistry, facilitating the formation of cyclic structures through concerted pericyclic processes. Traditionally explained via ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using ...

Researchers experimentally confirm their 2021 hypothesis that electron-phonon coupling, not electron-electron interactions, ...

Using a new method, physicists found a way to 'catapult' electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second.

Résumé of the many-electron problem -- The occupation number representation (second quantization) -- The Hartree-Fock method and the free-electron gas -- Plasma oscillations in a free-electron gas -- ...

So, what exactly is quantum theory in chemistry? It’s basically the set of ideas that explain how atoms and molecules behave at a really, really tiny level. Think smaller than you can even imagine.
