Abstract
This report finds strong evidence that in the next ten years molecularly based modeling will profoundly affect how chemistry, biology, and materials physics are understood, communicated, and transformed to technology, both intellectually and in commercial applications. Molecularly based modeling is a basis for communicating, understanding, and developing new technologies like nanotechnology. It creates new ways of thinking—and of achieving.
