It is designed for multiscale computational analysis of structure and dynamics of atomic clusters and nanoparticles, biomolecules and nanosystems, nanostructured materials, different states of matter and various interfaces.
It started around 2000 as a classical molecular dynamics code for simulating many-body systems interacting via the Morse and the Lennard-Jones potentials.
The first version of MBN Explorer was released in 2012 as a multipurpose computer code allowing to model different molecular systems of varied level of complexity.
It also supports the Protein Data Bank[8] (pdb) file format for describing the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules.
MBN Explorer has been utilized in different research projects in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology and radiation damage:
