Modelling Scenario in Nanotechnology Today
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 1, No 1 (2012) pp. 01-04
Abstract
This paper focuses on the current scenario of Nanotechnology vis-a-vis the latest progress and developements in the field in the last decade from a modelling and computational viewpoint. The importance of incorporating better and faster modelling and simulation tools not only in the multiscale context but also from a predctive point of view for future technological discoveries and innovations is also discussed. Challenges in this arena and priorities for the next decade are also discussed.
