Abstract: Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for forming nanoparticles. The method includes a mechanical milling process induced by aerodynamic, centrifugal, and centripetal forces and further augmented by ultrasound, magnetic pulse, and high voltage impact. A nanoparticle mill having an atmospheric and luminance controlled environment can form precisely calibrated nanoparticles. A nanoparticle mill can include first aerodynamic vane configured to rotate around a central axis of the nanoparticle mill in a first direction, and a second aerodynamic vane configured to rotate around the central axis in a second direction. An aerodynamic shape of an aerodynamic vane can be configured to cause particles within the nanoparticle mill to flow around the aerodynamic vane. The nanoparticle mill can include a primary product line, a nanoparticle sampling line, a particle programming array, a solidifying chamber, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein include an apparatus and method for programming a crystal lattice structure of a nanoparticle. A particle programming apparatus can include an input channel connected a particle sampling system. The particle sampling system can direct freshly milled nanoparticles to the particle programming apparatus if the nanoparticles are determined to be below a threshold size. The particle programming apparatus can include one or more programming devices configured to alter a crystal lattice of the received nanoparticles including an ultrasonic sound generator, a magnetic pulse generator, and a voltage generator. The one or more programming devices applies any of a sound, magnetic pulse, and voltage to the received nanoparticles within a time threshold of receiving the nanoparticles from the mill core.

Abstract: A system and method for molecular design and simulation is disclosed. In one aspect, a system for simulating a molecular structure includes a processor configured to simulate the molecular structure, a head-mounted display (HMD) configured to display the molecular structure, and at least one handheld input device. The input device may be configured to: receive input from a user, the input being indicative of movement of the handheld input device in 6 degrees-of-freedom (DoF), and selectively map, based on additional user input and at least one property of the molecular structure, one of the DoF to one of a plurality of defined techniques for altering the molecular structure. The processor may be configured to modify the molecular structure based on the received input as mapped to the selected defined technique.

Abstract: System that generates the solvent-excluded surface (SES) of a molecule using a parallel algorithm that may execute on a GPU. Parallel execution allows a SES to be created in seconds even for a large protein, or to be recreated rapidly when exploring modifications to molecular structure. The algorithm calculates a spatial field that represents a signed distance between an atom-facing surface of a probe and each point in 3D grid. Spatial field calculations for different grid points may be performed in parallel. The SES is then obtained as the zero isosurface of the spatial field, using for example marching cubes. Atoms and probes may be placed into spatial buckets and indexed by bucket to improve efficiency by limiting calculations to atoms and probes in the proximity of a point.

Abstract: An atomizer for atomizing a material into fine particles thereof, comprising an atomizing unit and a pump for forcibly supplying the material to the atomizing unit. The atomizing unit comprises: a container having an inner space; an inlet for communicating the inner space of the container to the outside thereof; a honeycomb body being provided in the inner space of the container and having a peripheral surface, a plurality of first holes and a second hole, each of the first holes and the second hole being inwardly bored from the peripheral surface to connect with one another at the inside of the honeycomb body; and an outlet tube being connected to the honeycomb body and extending to the outside of the container for communicating the second hole and the outside of the container. The pump supplies the material into the container through the inlet. A plurality of the atomizing units can be connected in series to use.
