Solvation Effects on Molecules and Biomolecules : Computational Methods and Applications
The incessant development of quantum chemistry since the appearance of the Schrodinger ¨ equation has turned this area into a respectable branch of science with unprecedented capabilities.It is now a well-recognized eld of research with pred- tive power that is an important component in physical–chemical laboratories.Very important developments were conducted in the early days by bright theoretical s- entists that were ready to absorb the incredible and unpredicted computer revolution which was only just beginning.Isolated medium-size molecular systems can now be accurately studied theoretically by quantum chemical methods.However, it was also long recognized that all biomolecular phenomena necessary to obtain and sustain living systems take place in solution, as well as the vast majority of chemical p- cesses.Indeed solvent and liquid systems are germane in chemistry experiments.In physics, aconstant concern isthedescription of theroleplayed by theenvironment in modifying the properties of the system as compared to the isolated situation.Hence, the importance of studying atoms, molecules and biomolecules in the solvent en- ronment can hardly be denied.The quantum chemical studies of molecular systems affected by the interaction with a solvent had its own turning point before the end of the 1970s, when some pioneering work was done, including the dielectric pr- erties of the medium in an effective nonlinear Hamiltonian.This naturally led to the development of the so-called continuum models that are important and now popular.Continuum models can be implemented from the simplest to the most sophisticated quantum chemical methods.

Is it possible to create new materials through lower dimensional levels by using femtotechnology instead of nanotechnology?
Femtotechnology operates at the scale of femtometers (10^-15 meters), which is smaller than the scale of nanotechnology (10^-9 meters). At this scale, it is theoretically possible to manipulate individual atomic nuclei and electrons to create entirely new materials with unique properties. By harnessing the power of femtotechnology, scientists may be able to engineer materials with unprecedented strength, conductivity, and other desirable characteristics. However, femtotechnology is still largely theoretical and has not yet been realized in practical applications, so its potential for creating new materials through lower dimensional levels remains speculative.

Why is Rutherford's scattering experiment called a scattering experiment at all?
Rutherford's experiment is called a scattering experiment because it involved firing alpha particles at a thin gold foil and observing how they scattered after hitting the foil. The term "scattering" refers to the process of particles being deflected from their original path as a result of collisions with the atoms in the foil. By analyzing the pattern of scattering, Rutherford was able to deduce the structure of the atom and propose the existence of a dense, positively charged nucleus at its center. This experiment was crucial in advancing our understanding of atomic structure and the behavior of subatomic particles.
