Abstract.
In this paper we obtain a new version of stability of matter, which in particular shows that Thomas-Fermi theory is asymptotically correct in the limit of large nuclear charges uniformly in the number of nuclei. As a consequence we give a new lower bound on the volume of matter with an improved dependence on the nuclear charges.
