Creating molecular presentations that clearly convey structural information is a common challenge in molecular modeling. Whether you’re preparing a video for a talk, teaching students, or documenting your findings, having visual elements that smoothly transition on-screen can significantly improve understanding.…

One of the recurring challenges in molecular modeling isn’t just the science—it’s the workflow. Researchers often find themselves using a mix of different tools that don’t always talk to each other. From simulation engines on one side to structure preparation…

When working with molecular models, a common early task is to measure distances between atoms or bond lengths. Whether you are building a new molecule, comparing structures, or preparing to simulate interactions, knowing exact measurements is vital. However, navigating measurement…

Structural precision is everything when you’re modeling at the nanoscale, especially when it comes to carbon nanotubes. Molecular modelers, materials scientists, and nanotechnologists often face the challenge of constructing multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) models with accurate geometrical parameters for simulations…

One of the most common challenges molecular modelers face is understanding complex structures in 3D environments. Amidst crowded molecular scenes, it can be difficult to visually separate overlapping atoms or perceive spatial depth, leading to errors in interpretation or simply…

As molecular modelers, we often switch between tasks — selecting atoms, deforming a structure, or building new models. In SAMSON, these diverse functionalities are accessible via editors. However, one design choice tends to raise questions: only one editor can be…
