CO-ADC, XMD, ChemiCool
We’re highlighting three new software submissions today: CO-ADC calculates band structures of semiconducting and insulating crystals. Electron correlations are accounted for using the crystal orbital algebraic diagrammatic construction (CO-ADC) scheme. The software comprises an independent band Lanczos code for real- … Continue reading

Software Carpentry Course
Greg Wilson pointed me to a new version of the Sofware Carpentry course at (www.swc.scipy.org); it’s all open source, and they’re actively looking for corrections and contributions. Reading through the online course materials, I can say that it is a … Continue reading
A Theory about Questions in Paper Titles
I have this hypothesis about scientific papers: If the title of the paper contains a question, the paper answers the question with a “no”. My own examples: Is the Ewald summation still necessary? Can imaginary frequency instantaneous normal modes predict … Continue reading
