Rethinking electron-molecule scattering simulations Automatically numbering and weighting electronic states instead of taking averages improves estimates of target molecular orbitals.

When an electron collides with a molecule, the electron can bounce off every which way. Predicting that scattering depends on the target molecular orbitals, a forecast of where, and in what state, the molecule’s electrons are likely to be when hit. #Scilight
