The molecular simulation structures, created and maintained by David J. Keffer of the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering department and The Computational Materials Research Group, use multi-scale materials modeling to develop a fundamental understanding of structure/property relationships in nanostructured materials. These computational tools have been applied to study (i) polymers under flow, (ii) proton transport in fuel cells, (iii) lubricant design, (iv) reactive molecular dynamics, (v) sensors for explosive materials, and a variety of other topics.

NOTE: These animations and interactive structures are created from various molecular dynamics simulations and quantum calculations. These interactive structures require the CHIME plugin: Download Chime instructions. For an alternative plugin, download the Jmol applet, available here.
