Interactions between atoms and molecules are facilitated by electromagnetic fields. The bigger the distance between the partners involved, the weaker these mutual interactions are. In order for the ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 47, No. 2 (2009), pp. 1319-1365 (47 pages) We introduce a unifying framework for hybridization of finite element methods for second order elliptic problems.

Researchers demonstrate orbital hybridization in graphene-based quantum dots, revealing how anisotropic confinement influences electronic states at the atomic scale. Quantum dots, often described as ...

No less than 500 new species of cichlids, brightly coloured perch-like fish, evolved in Lake Victoria (East Africa) over the past 15,000 years -- a record in the animal and plant world. This ...
