General Chemistry & Engineering

  • The theoretical bases for computational chemistry were formulated in early 20th century. Only the advent of personal computing with computational power previously available on supercomputers made computational chemistry available for everyone. Take the advantage and get ahead of competition.

Materials science

  • In chemistry it is often enough to research a single molecule computationally to learn its’ properties. This is usually not the case with materials related research, where continuous systems have to be considered. Molecular Dynamics methods basing on classical physics are able to handle systems of millions of atoms and predict macroscopic mechanical properties, while periodic quantum methods are able to compute electronic and optical properties.

Environmental protection

  • The Commission, Member States, industry and other stakeholders should continue to contribute to the promotion of alternative test methods on an international and national level including computer supported methodologies, in vitro methodologies, as appropriate, those based on toxicogenomics, and other relevant methodologies. The Community’s strategy to promote alternative test methods is a priority and the Commission should ensure that within its future Research Framework Programmes and initiatives such as the Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006 to 2010 this remains a priority topic. Participation of stakeholders and initiatives involving all interested parties should be sought. – REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).

Teaching & education

  • Computer simulations allow easy to understand visualizations of chemistry at the atom/molecule level, where direct observation is available by few exotic experimental techniques, while being crucial for understanding. Properties and reactions of compounds too dangerous or expensive for students to handle can be explored at a convenience of one’s own desk.
