Molecular modelers working with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) often need precise control over nanoscale parameters. Whether you’re modeling molecular transport, exploring electronic properties, or constructing nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), the geometry of your nanotubes matters. One common challenge is reproducibly designing CNT…

One of the most common scenarios in molecular modeling is embedding a membrane protein into a lipid bilayer. While it sounds straightforward, anyone who has tried to manually position hundreds of lipids around a protein knows this can be a…

One challenge that comes up again and again in molecular modeling is how to clearly communicate structural insights to others. Whether you’re preparing a presentation, building a tutorial, or creating a publication-quality video, controlling the camera’s motion is essential. This…

Molecular modeling often requires performing highly specialized simulations, visualizations, or data workflows—tasks that might not be fully covered by existing tools. This gap frequently leads scientists and developers to create their own scripts or pipelines. But wouldn’t it be more…

Visual presentation is a critical aspect of molecular modeling, especially when preparing demonstrations, tutorials, or research presentations. One common challenge faced by molecular modelers is how to control the visibility of atoms, molecules, or annotations in a smooth and convincing…

One recurring challenge in molecular modeling is how to build better visual narratives when presenting mechanisms, processes, or molecular structures. Whether you’re preparing for a lecture, scientific presentation, or simply want to communicate structural insight more clearly, animated transitions help…

When communicating complex molecular behavior, nothing beats a well-crafted animation. Whether you’re illustrating ligand dynamics, protein flexibility, or simply aligning datasets for a presentation, conveying atomic motion in an intuitive way matters. Many molecular modelers, however, still rely on tedious…

Creating accurate carbon nanotube (CNT) models can be time-consuming and technically complex, especially when trying to design concentric multi-walled structures. Whether you’re working in nanotechnology, molecular design, or materials science, generating realistic CNT models fast is essential for iterative research…

Running molecular dynamics simulations with GROMACS can be computationally demanding, especially on your personal machine. If you’ve ever noticed your entire system getting sluggish while simulations run, you’re not alone. GROMACS is designed to use your machine efficiently, but when…
