Schrödinger's equation marks 100 years of shaping quantum chemistry
Original: 100 years ago, Schrödinger’s equation shed light on quantum physics – scientists use it today to fine-tune chemical reac
One hundred years after Erwin Schrödinger formulated his famous equation, the centenary is drawing attention to how foundational the equation remains. Scientists now use it routinely to model atoms and molecules, helping them predict and fine-tune chemical reactions. Commentators note it transformed physics in the 1920s and continues to underpin modern quantum chemistry and materials research.
Why now: The centenary of the equation's publication is prompting retrospectives on its lasting scientific impact.
