More than 20% of the workload on the world's 500 fastest supercomputers is spent simulating how atoms and molecules move—with applications ranging from material design to identifying drug interactions ...

More than a hundred experts in molecular simulation have published a paper in the journal Nature Methods calling for a paradigm shift in molecular dynamics data management. The paper, led by Modesto ...

Ecological systems often exhibit complex dynamic phenomena like oscillations, chaos and nonlinear regime shifts. Quantifying these dynamics is valuable for both our understanding of these systems, and ...

Tokyo, Japan – The exchange of water and heat between the Earth and its atmosphere determines climate zones and ecosystems, which in turn influence where essential human activities take place. While ...

Scanning forests with lasers can provide three-dimensional models of forests, creating a unique way to look at these ecosystems. Researchers at the University of Helsinki are pioneers in applying this ...

"The past five decades have witnessed a rapid growth of computer models for simulating ecosystem functions and dynamics. This has been fueled by the availability of remote sensing data, computation ...

Disturbances, whether natural or anthropogenic, shape the composition, structure and functioning of ecological communities by altering resource availability, habitat configuration and species ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations are grounded in classical mechanics, particularly Newton’s laws of motion, to predict how particles move within a system. The force acting on each atom is calculated ...
