Atomic formulations for zeolites.(MATERIALS)

Advanced Ceramics Report, February, 2007

Two researchers in the US are developing a network of supercomputers and 4300 desktop personal computers to calculate atomic formulations for zeolites.

In the project, Michael Deem, a physicist from Rice University, Texas, and former postdoctoral researcher David Earl, now an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh, are working with the University of Texas' Advanced Computing Center and Purdue University's Rosen Center for Advanced Computing, Indiana, to run computer simulations on multiple TeraGrid supercomputing systems.

Deem's zeolite database contained 3.4 million structures in early December, and it is still growing. By studying the catalogue, scientists might find structures that are more efficient, either in terms of...
