Computing Infrastructure
Prospects for success in nanotechnology will be enhanced if CAD tools can be developed and made available to experimentalists and to
system designers so that those with problems to solve can do the simulations themselves. In addition to doing research that matters,
therefore, the NCN also has a mission to develop and support a facility that provides simulation services remotely through the WWW.
The nanoHUB (www.nanohub.org), allows users to
access computer programs, run simulations, and view results via standard Web browsers - without needing to install and support software.
In addition to on-line simulations, the nanoHUB is a resource for on-line courses, tutorials, debates and discussions, and collaborative
services.
