Significance for science
The relation between atomistic structure and material properties and function is a basic concern of modern soft matter science. This implies a thorough understanding on many length and correspondingly time scales ranging from atomic to macroscopic. At this point computer simulations are playing an increasingly important, if not the central role. Traditionally simulations have been separated in two main groups, namely, into simplified models to deal with generic or universal aspects of molecular systems and those employing classical force field simulations with all atomistic detail. Still characteristic problems, which require huge systems and/or long times in combination with a chemistry specific model, cannot be tackled by these methods alone. More recently with the development of scale-bridging or multiscale simulation techniques, these different approaches have been combined into an emerging rather powerful tool, which will enable us to reach the experimental length and time scales using computer simulation.
Significance for the country
The purpose of the project was to develop, improve, and apply the multiscale methods for molecular dynamics simulations in the study of biologically and technologically relevant soft matter systems. The project focused on specific problems in the research area, on code development and application. An important component of the project will involve close collaboration with the leading laboratories in this research field. We collaborate also with groups from the IJS, MF, FMF, BF, FF, FRI ( UL), PU.
We have introduced a field of multiscale molecular dynamics simulation of soft matter and molecular liquids to Slovenia. The multiscale modeling and simulation is a very hot topic within computational physics/chemistry. The active participation of slovenian researchers in this field, which was made possible by this project, is therefore of animportance for the development of computational science in Slovenia.
Newly developed methods for computer simulations of soft matter and molecular liquids are used to teaching and science popularization. Members of project team also supervised several graduate students in the field of physics, computer science, pharmacy and chemistry.
The results of this research were published in international scientific journals and were presented at international scientific meetings.
With our scientific quality and other international activity, i.e., invited lectures at scientific meetings and collaborations with top international groups in the field we increase our country's international recognition as well as sustain and enhance its national identity.
