Microclusters
Small aggregates of atoms constitute a distinct phase of matter. Their chemistry, at once highly reactive and selective, has possible applications in catalysis, optics and electronics

Predicting Chemistry from Topology
Methods relying on the topology of molecules-the geometric patterns in which their atoms are linked-but ignoring their three-dimensional shapes predict a broad range of properties
