Molecules in magnetic fields

Molecular electronic structure-theory calculations are mostly performed in the absence of magnetic fields, with the ability to include the effects of internal and external magnetic fields perturbatively, as corrections to the field-free description of the molecule. In the MOLMAG project, the mol...

SCOPE - Exploiting Structure to Cope with Hard Problems

En algoritme er en liste med presise instruksjoner for å løse en oppgave ved hjelp av en datamaskin. Mange av de mest interessante oppgavene vi vil løse med datamaskiner er så vanskelige at ingen har så langt klart å finne en rask og god algoritme for å løse dem. En god del av disse oppgavene kan...

Advanced techniques to evaluate the long-term stability and carbon sequestration potential of different types of biochar

Biochar is emerging as one of the most promising tools to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and permanently sequester carbon (C) in soils. The technology is based on pyrolysis of fresh biomass, a process that also generates energy in the form of syn-gas and bio-oil. Pyrolysis conditions greatly aff...
