Nanoscale Coputation and Simulation at Penn State

Computational modeling of nanoscale phenomena is intimately linked to Penn State's large array of some of the world's most powerful probe microscopes and other ultra- sensitive instruments, some of which are capable of resolving sub-atomic objects smaller than one-thousandth of a nanometer in size.

 

In addition to a full complement of nanoscale sensing and detection instruments, the Materials Simulation Center at Penn State provides a wide range of simulation software and visualization tools that allows scientists to reiteratively compute, model and simulate their research. Computer facilities include a wide variety of platforms and configurations, from single-user stations and software systems, to multi-node computational networks, to supercomputer arrays.
