Before he developed the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer’s early work revolutionized the field of quantum chemistry – and his theory is still used today
7+ hour, 14+ min ago (291+ words) Remember building model molecules with balls and sticks in chemistry class? You have J. Robert Oppenheimer to thank for that, as a quantum chemist explains....
Cement plants could pull more carbon from the air than they release
13+ hour, 26+ min ago (918+ words) Cement plants could become carbon-negative by combining electric kilns with direct air capture to pull CO2 from the atmosphere. Cement is in nearly every sidewalk, foundation, and highway overpass on Earth. Making it means heating limestone until it breaks apart. That…...

Thorium Clusters Reveal New Form of Metal Aromaticity
15+ hour, 23+ min ago (229+ words) The Core Concept: Researchers have discovered that clusters of three thorium atoms exhibit an unusual, field-induced non-linear magnetic response, behaving as aromatic "superatoms" only when exposed to an external magnetic field. Future Application: The findings will lead to refined computational…...
