weekly virtual journal contains articles that have appeared in one of the participating source journals and that fall within a number of contemporary topical areas in the science and technology of nanometer-scale structures.
an open source, high performance library for simulating rigid body dynamics. It is fully featured, stable, mature and platform independent with an easy to use C/C++ API. It has advanced joint types and integrated collision detection with friction.
In 1927 Professor Parnell heated a sample of pitch and poured it into a glass funnel with a sealed stem. 72 years later, the eighth drop is only just about to fall.
