NNIN/C announces collaborative agreement with Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) nanoHUB

Recent discussions between the team of computational scientists at Purdue’s NCN nanoHUB and at the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network Computation project have led to an agreement to collaborate on educational and research issues relating to Nanoscience computation and its impact on experiment.

The NCN nanoHUB is an NSF funded project that has a mission to connect theory, experiment, and computation in a way that makes a difference to the future of nanotechnology. The nanoHUB has extensive resources for education, including numerous audio-plus-PowerPoint lectures on nanoscience and computation. They also have a large and growing library of educational and research codes, many embedded in graphical user interfaces using their “Rappture” toolkit, which are accessible with nothing more than a web browser. These resources are expected to complement and enhance NNIN/C’s capabilities, which are concentrated in codes for use by computational and experimental scientists principally for research.

In the near future, we will highlight here some of the nanoHUB tools which could be of particular use to the Center for Nanoscale Systems and the other nanoscience programs at Harvard.
