Model predicts structure of crystals
One of the continuing scandals in the physical sciences is that it remains impossible to predict the structure of even the simplest crystalline solids from their chemical composition.” So wrote the chemist and former Nature editor John Maddox in 1988 (see Nature 335, 201), who was bemoaning the lack of a computational method to predict how molecules will arrange themselves in the solid state.
