Are there Undiscovered Elements Beyond The Periodic Table?
We explore if it's really possible that new elements exist beyond the periodic table.
How To Simulate The Universe With DFT
PBS Space Time explores the outer reaches of space, the craziness of astrophysics, the possibilities of sci-fi, and anything else you can think of beyond Planet Earth. Host Matt O'Dowd breaks down both the basic and incredibly complex sides of space and time.
How To Simulate The Universe With DFT
Season 8 Episode 3 | 14m 14s | CC
If you used every particle in the observable universe to do a full quantum simulation, how big would that simulation be? At best a large molecule. That’s how insanely information dense the quantum wave function really is. And yet we routinely simulate systems with thousands, even millions of particles. How? By cheating. Using the ultimate compression algorithm: Density Functional Theory (DFT).
