One must therefore be lenient toward the imperfections of
the molecular field methods, considering the simplicity with which the successes recalled in the first few lines of these conclusions were obtained.
However, the local
molecular field method can also be extended to noncollinear structures such as that of helimagnetism, which Yoshimori and Villain discovered independently in an absolutely unexpected manner; one can thus interpret phenomena in a remarkably simple and concrete manner.
Indeed, under these conditions an atom belonging to a given sublattice has only a very small number of neighbors (one or two) in each of the other sublattices, and
the molecular field method, which consists in replacing the instantaneous action of an atom by that of an average atom, will be more likely to yield a correct result, the larger the number of atoms to which it is applied.

fields within biology are further divided based on the scale at which organisms are studied and the
methods used to study them: biochemistry examines the fundamental chemistry of life;
molecular biology studies the complex interactions of systems of biological molecules; cellular biology examines the basic building block of all life, the cell; physiology examines the physical and chemical functions of the tissues and organ systems of an organism; and ecology examines how various organisms interrelate.

Modern biophysics is a broad and rapidly advancing
field encompassing the study of biological structures with a focus on mechanisms at the
molecular, cellular, and systems level using the concepts and

Research in the Bredas group focuses on computational materials chemistry: computational
methods are used as a tool to uncover the properties of novel advanced materials, understand their chemistry and physics, and derive an integrated understanding of the intrinsic
molecular - and nano - scale processes in a variety of emerging applications (such as solar cells or low - power displays), especially in the
fields of organic electronics, photonics, and information technology.
As to your response on chemistry and spectroscopy over at WUWT (no idea what happened to your comment here, it must have been a browser problem, it's not in the comments database here at all)- you cite «valence bond theory, -LSB-...]
