QUOTE OF THE DAY

“People who learn quantum electrodynamics don’t often sit in advanced organic chemistry classes and vice versa — there’s a gap to be bridged.”

Computational materials scientist Prineha Narang and others are bringing chemistry and quantum physics together: they are trying to harness the power of the vacuum field to control chemical reactions. (Chemistry World | 8 min read)
