Sacar las cosas de contexto es una forma perfecta de lograr que no se entiendan o, peor aún, de que se subvierta su significado real. Por eso se suele descontextualizar, por supuesto; empezando por el...

A secretária de Estado Helena Canhão diz que a nova agência, que junta a investigação científica e a inovação, irá resolver os problemas de “fragmentação” de financiamento público destas duas áreas.

Se llamaba Instituto de Capacitación Integral en Estudios Domésticos, una escuela de criadas que el Opus Dei tuvo en Argentina entre 1973 y 2017; ya suman 43 las mujeres que han denunciado a los segui...

We present g-xTB, a next-generation semi-empirical electronic structure method derived from tight-binding (TB) approximations to Kohn–Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). Designed to bridge the ga...

The Funding and Tenders Portal is the single entry point (the Single Electronic Data Interchange Area) for applicants, contractors and experts in funding programmes and procurements managed by the Eur...

Polypeptides lacking aromatic residues can display in the aggregated state anomalous spectroscopic properties, such as UV absorption and fluorescence emission. Despite the fundamental interest and pot...

In this work, the implementation of a partial fourth order N-electron-valence perturbation theory (NEVPT) is reported and numerically evaluated. The method, termed NEVPT4(SD), includes the internally ...

A new solution synthesis strategy could catapult quantum applications

Extended systems with an inverted singlet–triplet gap (X-INVEST) are designed by merging two INVEST cores in a Uthrene-like architecture. The energy proximity characterizing the four lowest excited s....

In this work, we propose a new Global Optimization Algorithm (GOAT) for molecules and clusters of atoms and show how it can find the global energy minima for both systems without resorting to molecul...

On-surface synthesis of two-dimensional polymers is a useful strategy for designing the lattice, orbital and spin symmetries of materials, but controlling their layer stacking remains challenging. Now...

Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X.
