What if the key to better catalysis in semihydrogenation processes isn’t more catalyst, but less?
A fascinating new study dives deep into that idea. ⚗️

The Lennard-Jones potential describes how particles interact at short and long ranges, balancing attractive and repulsive forces. It’s an important tool in understanding molecular behavior and simulating materials at the atomic level.

Today is the birthday of Sir John Lennard-Jones, a pioneering scientist in the field of intermolecular forces. His development of the Lennard-Jones potential remains one of the most widely used models in molecular simulations today.
