Computers are getting better at modelling chemistry. But there are still many challenges to overcome.

Computational chemistry is evolving rapidly, improving our ability to understand the world. This progress has sparked debate, however, about how we should use it to answer different questions, especially given the competing forces at work. Much of the discussion revolces around the balance between getting an accurate answer, and getting a quick answer.
