One of the most influential science studies of all time started with a modest minicomputer, some simulated boxes of water molecules, and a grand vision for computer-aided chemistry. The year was 1982.

In molecular dynamics simulations of water systems, where water molecules are treated as rigid bodies, it is important to use a small time-step. This small time-step helps ensure that the average ...

Scientists have developed a 1cm by 1cm wireless artificial aquatic polyp, which can remove contaminants from water. Apart from cleaning, this soft robot could be also used in medical diagnostic ...

A pioneering method to simulate how nanoparticles move through the air could boost efforts to combat air pollution, a study suggests. (Nanowerk News) Tiny particles found in exhaust fumes, wildfire ...

Today IonQ announced that its quantum computer has achieved a critical milestone: simulating the water molecule with accuracy approaching what is needed for practical applications in the promising ...

Scientists didn’t understand why independently oscillating microscopic particles suddenly begin moving in perfect sync when grouped together. Researchers showed that fluid-driven hydrodynamic ...

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a ...
