All-Russian Conference "Molecular Dynamics-2025"
From June 25 to July 2, the All-Russian Conference "Molecular Dynamics 2025" was held in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk. The conference covered a wide range of topics, from supercomputer modeling technologies to applications of atomistic modeling methods in various fields of physics, chemistry, and biology. Fundamental issues concerning the prospects for the development of this research area were also discussed. The conference attracted considerable attention, with over 80 presentations, both oral and poster, presented. One of the main ideas of the conference was unlimited question-and-answer time, allowing for a wide range of topics to be discussed.
