So does George Schatz, the Morrison Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University. He is among the leading authorities on developing computer models and simulations used by researchers to help explain and predict the properties of things like DNA or nanoparticles. SiS asked him to tell us more about his work.
