NanoHive@home |
Introduction
Nanotechnology is the understanding and manipulation of matter at the molecular scale. At this scale, physical and chemical properties of elements are very different from material at larger sizes. NanoHive@home was founded to help research this important science through simulations and analysis otherwise too complex to be calculated by normal means.
NanoHive@home runs projects and simulations that evaluate: (1) nano-scale mechanisms for movement and transport molecules and (2) efficiency of nanobots in combating a potential germ.
A broad range of vital industries already benefits from advances made in nanotechnology. In the field of medicine, therapeutics, cancer treatments, and nerve and tissue repair all look to nanotechnology. In computer sciences, nanotechnology is already being used to bring circuitry to the molecular level, increasing processing power and speed.
NOTE: This Project is no longer active. If you would like to take over the project see here.

Science
[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important.]
Results
[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]
Links of Interest
[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]
NanoHive@home In the Classroom
[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link to Volunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
