Definition

Molecular simulation is a computational methodology employed to investigate the structure, dynamics, and properties of molecular systems across various scales. It achieves this by modeling the interactions and time evolution of individual atoms and molecules, providing fundamental insights into complex phenomena in physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science often inaccessible through experimental methods alone.
