Permits
the modeling and simulation
of complex nanometer-scale
structures. The predictive and analytical power
of computation is critical to success in nanotechnology: nature required several
hundred million years to evolve a functional "wet" nanotechnology; the insight provided by
computation should allow us to reduce the development time of a working "dry" nanotechnology to a few decades, and it will
have a major impact on the "wet" side as well. [Rice University]
