Abstract
We review recent progress in understanding fundamental processes in biology, chemistry and physics on the basis of ab initio and molecular dynamics simulations. The first step of the visual process involving the excitation of bovine rhodopsin after absorption of light is taken as an example from biochemistry to demonstrate what is nowadays possible to simulate numerically. The act of freezing of water has recently been simulated, for the first time successfully, by scientists from chemistry. Martensitic transformation in bulk and nanophase materials, a typical and hitherto not completely solved problem from solid state physics, is used to illustrate the achievements of multimillion atoms simulations.
