Positron spectroscopy is a remarkable, important tool in the fields of materials science and medicine. On page 1146 (DOI: 10.1002/qua.24641 ), Yuki Oba and Masanori Tachikawa report that theoretical modeling aids the interpretation of positron experiments and can predict the positron binding to large biomolecules. In the case of aspartame, a molecular orbital exists around the region with high electron density, indicating that the long‐range electrostatic interaction plays the most crucial role in positron binding.
