research includes a lot of tools that people don't know of. While many
of the tools are paid and commercially available tools, there are also
those that can be downloaded freely. Being one of the premier scientific
fields today, nanotech is also one of the best career options. So here
are a few software that nanotechnologists can use! |
1. NanoCAD
NanoCAD is a professional grade CAD tool. It has a familiar interface, powerful drafting and design tools, native DWG compatibility, and an open API. And it's totally free to use and share. No catches, no gotchas, and no compromises.
2. General Nanotechnology
General Nanotechnology (GN) has created and is developing hardware and software that provides advanced capabilities in imaging, nano-manipulation, nano-fabrication, nano-spectro-photometry, near field optical probes below the aperture (50nm) limit, and diamond and other nanotools tips and parts.
3. OpenChem Workbench
OpenChem Workbench is an enterprise software suite designed for creating, saving, searching, and exchanging chemical data. It uses existing tools (NIST, Gaussian, CHEMKIN) and its own easy molecule building, mechanism management, group additivity, etc.
4. CavityStuffer
The purpose of the CavityStuffer program is to propose tree-like polymeric molecules, which when synthesised and allowed to fold into their globular structure, will densely fill a given volume, the surface of which was prescribed to atomic detail. The CavityStuffer program generates its proposals by growing polymers blindly, and in a randomised fashion, it chooses sites on the tree for further attachment and elongation.
6. Hypercube
This software provides computational methods for molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, and semi-empirical and ab-initio molecular orbital methods, as well as density functional theory.
7. Molecular Visualization Freeware
Here you will find the Protein Explorer and Rasmol, which are two very useful, albeit old, tools for nanotechnology research. There are also other newer options available.
8. DisMol
This is a freeware molecule display applet, which is also open source and makes the source code of the project available publicly.
9. Accelerys
Accelrys a publicly listed company that serves as a provider of scientific innovation lifecycle management software, supports industries and organisations that rely on scientific innovation to differentiate themselves.
10. Institute of Microelectronics
Here you will find 12 open source software that can be used for working effectively with Nanotechnology.
