Nearsightedness of Electronic Matter and the Size of Viruses
W. T. Geng
I conjecture that the nearsightedness of component electronic matter largely determines the size of a virus. These two length scales, one from physics and one from biochemistry, ar…

A simple scaling law between the total energy of a free atom and its atomic number
W. T. Geng
A simple, approximate relation is found between the total energy of a free atom and its atomic number: E ~= -Z^{2.411}. The existence of this index is inherent in the Coulomb and m…
