Quantum mechanical calculations of atomic systems comprise a suite of computational methods that rigorously apply the principles of quantum mechanics to determine a range of atomic properties. These ...

Caltech scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)–based method that dramatically speeds up calculations of ...

Chlorine naturally exists as two isotopes, \(_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}\) (chlorine-35) and \(_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}\) (chlorine-37). The abundance of chlorine-35 is 75% ...

Researchers developed a method to accurately calculate atomic forces for elements with high atomic numbers with quantum Monte Carlo simulations Ishikawa, Japan-- Atomic forces are primarily ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world's most distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering and medicine, and is the oldest scientific academy in ...

A group from Nagoya University in Japan has created a new technique for growing the tiny metal nanowires (NWs) that are expected to be used in next-generation electronics. Their results suggest a way ...

A schematic diagram of proton and neutron distributions for mirror nuclei argon-31 and aluminum-31. Left side is the weakly bound proton-rich nucleus argon-31, which is predicted to exhibit a ...
