Chemical reactivity lies at the heart of understanding molecular transformations, and Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT) provides a robust framework for quantifying and predicting such ...

Just like an astronomer investigates outer space, a chemist explores chemical space—a theoretical territory with all possible known (and unknown) chemical compounds. Researchers estimate chemical ...

If scientists can understand how valence electrons move during chemical reactions, it could help them design better drugs, cleaner chemical processes, and more efficient materials, Gabalski said. To ...

Controlling chemical reactions to generate new products is one of the biggest challenges in chemistry. Developments in this area impact industry, for example, by reducing the waste generated in the ...
