Focusing on the foundational aspects of matter, this book explores empirical rules of chemical affinity that govern molecular synthesis and properties. It integrates chemical theories with quantum and relativity physics, presenting a coherent theory that simplifies complex concepts like atomic and molecular structure. Additionally, it highlights the self-similarity across various scales, linking space-time, nuclear structure, covalent assembly, biological growth, planetary systems, and galactic formation, providing a comprehensive understanding of chemistry's principles.

Focusing on significant discoveries in chemical cosmology, this book explores scientific insights that remain outside the realm of traditional western cosmology. It employs an interdisciplinary approach to synthesize contemporary knowledge, providing a comprehensive understanding of how these findings can reshape our view of the universe.

Challenging the foundational role of quantum and relativity theories in science, this monograph highlights their incompatibility and explores the philosophical issues arising from the quantum model. It presents a critical examination of the assumptions that have long been accepted in scientific discourse, offering a fresh perspective on the limitations and implications of these theories.

This volume, written by a highly cited author, presents the history of quantum theory together with open questions and remaining problems in terms of the plausibility of quantum chemistry and physics. It also provides insights into the theory of matter-wave mechanics. The content is aimed at students and lecturers in chemistry, physics and the philosophy of science.

The series Structure and Bonding publishes critical reviews on research topics related to chemical structure and bonding, covering the entire Periodic Table and addressing issues associated with all elements. It emphasizes modern areas of structural and theoretical chemistry, including nanostructures, molecular electronics, designed molecular solids, surfaces, metal clusters, and supramolecular structures. The series focuses on physical and spectroscopic techniques for determining and modeling structures, prioritizing scientific results over technical details. It also explores the development of bonding models that clarify reactivity pathways and chemical process rates. Each volume is thematic, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging insights relevant to a broader scientific audience, whether in academia or industry. Reviews critically survey specific aspects of the topic and contextualize them within the volume. Significant developments from the last 5 to 10 years are highlighted with examples illustrating key principles. While not exhaustive in data, the coverage is conceptual, focusing on new principles to help non-specialists understand the presented data. Discussions on potential future research directions are encouraged.
