However, some of the early successes of molecular engineering have come in the fields of immunotherapy, synthetic biology, and printable electronics (see molecular engineering applications). Molecular engineering is a dynamic and evolving field with complex target problems; breakthroughs require sophisticated and creative engineers who are ...
His Ph.D. work was the first doctoral degree on the topic of molecular nanotechnology and his thesis, "Molecular Machinery and Manufacturing with Applications to Computation", was published (with minor editing) as Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing and Computation (1992), which received the Association of American Publishers award ...
Building on the founding discoveries and theories in the history of quantum mechanics, the first theoretical calculations in chemistry were those of Walter Heitler and Fritz London in 1927, using valence bond theory. [8] The books that were influential in the early development of computational quantum chemistry include Linus Pauling and E ...
The theory was extended to map chemical space with molecular assembly trees, demonstrating the application of this approach in drug discovery, [2] in particular in research of new opiate-like molecules by connecting the "assembly pool elements through the same pattern in which they were disconnected from their parent compound(s)".
Flory–Stockmayer theory is a theory governing the cross-linking and gelation of step-growth polymers. [1] The Flory–Stockmayer theory represents an advancement from the Carothers equation , allowing for the identification of the gel point for polymer synthesis not at stoichiometric balance. [ 1 ]
Atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO) is the study of matter–matter and light–matter interactions, at the scale of one or a few atoms [1] and energy scales around several electron volts. [2]: 1356 [3] The three areas are closely interrelated. AMO theory includes classical, semi-classical and quantum treatments.
In two papers outlining his "theory of atomicity of the elements" (1857–58), Friedrich August Kekulé was the first to offer a theory of how every atom in an organic molecule was bonded to every other atom. He proposed that carbon atoms were tetravalent, and could bond to themselves to form the carbon skeletons of organic molecules.
