There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

In this video, I explain why some reactions explode while others cool, exploring the root cause of chemical energy. I discuss the chemistry behind endothermic and exothermic reactions, which involves ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

I feel compelled to point out the error in David Longhurst’s simplification of Schrödinger’s cat. The box that the cat is sealed in contains a vial of poison gas ...

Abstract: There is a growing demand for the use of natural gas as a clean source of energy but a more efficient and economic means of its storage and transportation is a challenge that constitutes an ...

A type of hydrogen that doesn't interact with light could explain how long neutrons live and reveal the identity of the universe's dark matter, according to a new theory. When you purchase through ...

Conventional thinking holds that the metal site in single atom catalysts (SACs) has been a limiting factor to the continued improvement of the design and, therefore, the continued improvement of the ...

A Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. (Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg News) On Monday night in Atlanta, Donald Trump described a made-up scenario in which GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia ...

The QMol-grid package provides a suite of routines for performing quantum-mechanical simulations in atomic and molecular systems in one spatial dimension. All simulations use an underlying ...
