Nano: Start of a series

As you know I’m spending a bit of time investigating nanotechnology, I’m intending to post some of my findings over the next few weeks, assuming I find anything I consider useful or interesting, of course.

To kick off with I made a UML picture (large .jpg file) of static relationships in NanoML. This picture will, no doubt, be revised over time as I get to understand it some more. This has been hand made, because part of the point of the exercise was for me to understand what is involved, I’m sure there are automagic tools for doing this kind of thing, but I don’t learn so much from those.

Wiley have also started publishing Small, a nanotech magazine. Theres an issue available for free download on the site. Right now I can’t justify the subscription cost, though I’ll read through the free issue and decide then.

    • Thats just the data storage format….what I’m intending to do is write an editor for it, something that’ll allow roundtrips and switching between 3D graphical editing and simulation. Akin to the edit-compile-debug cycle for software, only with atoms instead.
