The best of both approaches

The 20th Century has witnessed remarkable advances in health and medicine. The creation of infrastructures and measures to improve public health, as well as medical advances in the second half of the century, have increased the life expectancy of many people around the world. Antibiotics have finally given us a potent weapon to combat infectious diseases, we can effectively control diabetes and...

The Best of Both Worlds

Open networks give actors non-redundant information that is diverse, while closed networks offer redundant information that is easier to interpret. Integrating arguments about network structure and the similarity of actors' knowledge, we propose two types of network configurations that combine diversity and ease of interpretation. Closed-diverse networks offer diversity in actors' knowledge dom...

Double-hybrid density functionals: merging wavefunction and density approaches to get the best of both worlds.

We review why and how double-hybrid density functionals have become new leading actors in the field of computational chemistry, thanks to the combination of an unprecedented accuracy together with large robustness and reliability. Similar to their predecessors, the widely employed hybrid density functionals, they are rooted in the Adiabatic Connection Method from which they emerge in a natural ...
