Advanced computational software is streamlining quantum chemistry research by automating many of the processes of running molecular simulations. The complicated design of these software packages, however, often limits their use to theoretical chemists trained in specialized computing techniques. A new web platform developed by Fang Liu’s theoretical chemsitry group at Emory University overcomes this limitation with a user-friendly chatbot.Continue readingChatbot opens computational chemistry to nonexperts
Simulations suggest that water can become a superacid under extremely high heat and pressure conditions. This may also explain how planets like Uranus and Neptune get diamond rain.Continue readingJoel Bowman featured in New Scientist: “Water can turn into a superacid that makes diamonds”
The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) named William Wuest, Emory professor of chemistry, to its 2025 class of Senior Members, comprised of 162 emerging inventors from NAI member institutions.Continue readingNational Academy of Inventors names chemist Bill Wuest to 2025 class of Senior Members
