Atoms In Motion, Student Ed. 3.0

"Atoms in Motion" offers an engaging exploration of atomic theory through a fully interactive simulation that allows users to visualize the fundamental nature of matter. By employing sophisticated Molecular Dynamics (MD) algorithms, this app facilitates real-time computational chemistry calculations on your iPad, bringing the dynamics of atoms to life.

Users are empowered to control atoms directly, witnessing their interactions as they attract, repel, and form distinctive structures. The interface is intuitive; with simple gestures, users can add or remove atoms, manipulate their positions, and even explore various states of matter—solids, liquids, and gases. Temperature adjustment is straightforward, enabling users to investigate phenomena such as the ideal gas laws by modifying volume or atom count within the simulation.

The student edition maintains the same advanced 2-D MD simulation of the full version but is constrained to 100 neon (Ne) atoms. Utilizing the Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential for Van der Waals forces, the app continually calculates pressure, allowing users to adjust temperature from near absolute zero to over 500K.

"Atoms in Motion" serves as an excellent educational tool, merging chemistry with physics seamlessly. As Richard P. Feynman astutely noted, “There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.” This application encapsulates that spirit of discovery.
