Crystalline materials in the real world often deviate from their ideal structures. Imperfections such as vacancies, substitutions, or interstitials—collectively known as defects—can dramatically influence material properties like conductivity, strength, and optical behavior. Simulating these defects realistically is essential for researchers…

In molecular modeling and simulations, visualizations are essential for storytelling. Whether you’re preparing a conference talk, sharing a molecular mechanism on social media, or teaching students about molecular interactions, how you present your model can affect understanding and engagement. One…

Anyone working with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations knows the pain: you’re ready to analyze some subtle motion or apply restraints during your GROMACS run, and the default index groups just won’t cut it. You need something specific — a pocket,…

When preparing molecular animations, especially for presentations or publications, clarity is everything. A common frustration among molecular modelers is trying to zoom in on a specific part of a system — such as a binding site or a reaction center…

When working with complex molecular systems, presentation matters. Whether you’re preparing visuals for a publication, a lecture, or simply navigating intricate molecular networks, creating compelling representations that are both meaningful and accessible can take time. 👍 This is where Visual…
