The authors studies the Thomas-Fermi-von Weizaecker theory of atoms and molecules. The main result is to prove universality of the structure of very large atoms and molecules, i.e., when the nuclear charges go to infinity. Universality means that as the nuclear charges go to infinity the following quantities among others converge: The electronic density away from the nuclei, the excess charge (i.e., the maximal number of extra electrons a neutral molecule can bind) and the ionization energy for an atom. Furthermore he uniquely characterizes the limit density as the solution to a renormalized TFW-equation.
