VSEPR theory provides a practical way to predict the 3D shapes of molecules by focusing on how electron pairs repel each other. This model explains why atoms arrange in specific geometries, from ...

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 ...
