Adventures at the Nanoscale

Universal is a model of the nanoscale world. To explore this research and education tool, you can watch the movies that we have prepared for you, interact with real-time simulations, and create your own movies. Our computer-generated world consists of rather simple atoms, much like Democritus of ancient Greece probably imagined. If we define species of those atoms along with a few parameters to describe their properties, the system can model and help us understand a variety of phenomena of the real microscopic world.
