Achieving Dirac's 'bottom-up' understanding of chemistry has become a celebration as well as an institutionalization of the interplay between theory and experiment at the core of physical chemistry.

Physical chemists aim to develop a fundamental understanding at the molecular and atomic level of how materials behave and how chemical reactions occur, knowledge that is relevant in nearly every area ...

Their discoveries are based on understanding chemical properties and describing their behavior using theories of physics and mathematical computations. Physical chemistry is a good area for chemists ...
