Such an exciting tool from the NovaMechanics Ltd team! You don't need computer programming skills to use it - it has a lovely user interface that guides you through the steps to construct #Nanotubes - this is a first important step towards fully #InSilicoNanosafety as the virtual nanotubes of different compositions / dimensions can then be used in other computational tools to evaluate, for example, protein binding, cellular attachment and uptake, and toxicity. #Exciting #DigitalTwinNanotubes Super outputs from CompSafeNano and DIAGONAL projects. 🎇
Introducing NanoTube Construct: A Platform for Nanotube Engineering on Enalos Cloud Platform NanoTube Construct is a cutting-edge Digital Nanotube Engineering Suite on the #SaaS Enalos Cloud Platform designed for nanotechnology researchers. This tool enables the construction of nanotubes from various single-layer materials, including both carbon-based (like graphene, graphane) and non-carbon options (such as silicene, molybdenum disulfide). Key Features: - Versatile Material Compatibility: Works beyond zero-thickness and symmetry constraints for diverse nanomaterials. - Realistic Energy-Optimized Models: Applies energy minimization for accurate, application-ready structures. - Atomistic Descriptor Analysis: Calculates stability indicators like average potential energy and coordination number. - Unit Cell Precision: Generates the primitive unit cell according to chosen rolling vectors. - Energetic Stability Comparison: Compares nanotube and nanosheet stability for optimal material selection. - Flexible Chirality Indexes: Supports negative indexes to expand design possibilities. Applications: Demonstrations include graphane and molybdenum disulfide nanotubes, illustrating NanoTube Construct’s flexibility, precision, and safe, sustainable-by-design approach (#SSbD).
