Abstract:The cover shows an exponential curve. It is a visual representation of Moore's lawGordon Moore's observation that the number of components, such as transistors, per integrated circuit doubles roughly every two years. The exponential increase in computational power that this has entailed has made computational materials science possible. Curiously enough, computational materials science is now an important driver of this increase, and, consequently, a driver of its own capabilities. Printed by LiU-tryck, Linkö… Show more
