New Horizons in Density Functional Theory: Faraday Discussion 224

Density functional theory (DFT) is today's most widely used method for practical computational electronic structure calculations across chemistry, physics and materials science. Fuelled by a rapid increase in computational power and the advent of linear scaling technologies the systems to which DFT may be applied have become ever larger, more complex. This Faraday Discussion brings together chemists, physicists, materials scientists and applied mathematicians who develop new density-functional methods and rely on this approach as a key tool in their research.
