Note: The project described in this document is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI) to use TeraGrid's petascale environments for highly advanced scientific analysis and simulations that advance the frontiers of scientific and engineering research. For more, see ARCHIVED: Petascale computing on the TeraGrid.

This project uses hybrid quantum mechanical-atomistic-mesoscale simulations to study how biomolecules move through nanometer-sized pores in inorganic materials, such as silica and silicon nitride. The simulations capture detailed physics of the problem, and may illuminate possible applications to sequencing DNA and RNA molecules.
