Computer predicts reactions between molecules and surfaces, with chemical precision Nov 7, 2009
To achieve "chemical precision" an advance first had to be made in so-called density function theory (DFT). In this theory, the Hohenberg-Kohn theorems state that the energy of the system (and therefore also the reaction barrier) is determined by the density of the electrons in the system. (EurekAlert!)
