Most classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations employ potential functions that do not account for the effects of induced electronic polarization between atoms, instead treating atoms as simple fixed point charges. Incorporating the influence of polarization in large-scale simulations is a critical challenge in the progress toward computations of increased fidelity, providing a more realistic and accurate representation of microscopic and thermodynamic properties.

A brand new biomedical picture website has just launched - a beautiful biomedical image every day, and an engaging nugget of medical science. What’s not to love?
Nice little competition on the Facebook page, too.
