Atomu
Atomu is an open-source framework for atomic-scale modeling and simulation. It provides a modular environment for building, running, and analyzing simulations of atoms, molecules, and materials. Designed for researchers, it emphasizes interoperability with other scientific software, a consistent API, and reproducible workflows.
The architecture centers on a lightweight core engine, a plugin system, and a domain-specific language for defining
Atomu originated from community-driven work in the early 2010s, with a first public release in 2015. It
Universities, national laboratories, and industry R&D groups use Atomu to study crystal structures, surfaces, polymers, and
Governance is community-driven, with maintainers coordinating releases and contribution guidelines. Atomu is distributed under an open-source
