The ground-state energies of atoms and infinite linear molecules in very high magnetic fields have been calculated by density functional theory. The cancellation of orbital self-interaction and the determination of an empirical correlation energy are described. The ground-state energies obtained are very much lower than those found in previous work. Except for atomic numbers Z approximately equal to or less than 6, there is no molecular energy minimum for any internuclear separation in the magnetic fields considered. The ground-state energy increases monotonically with decreasing internuclear separation. The implications for the cohesive energy of condensed matter at a pulsar polar cap are considered. Evidence for the reliability of the numerical procedures used is summarized briefly.
