What are some examples of computational science?
Computational science is everywhere. Most commonly associated with areas of chemistry, physics, geology, biology and economics, computational science shapes the world around us. In chemistry, computational science is used to help explain behavior at the molecular level, leading to new materials with applications in renewable energy, new drugs for treating diseases, and new substances with improved heat management properties, and even models to predict impacts of nanoscale particles. In physics, computational science is used to understand airflow around wings in airplanes, to identify new fuel-efficient body styles for cars, to track objects in orbit around the earth, around the sun and in galaxies far away. Computational science is also used to design new electronics, forecast weather conditions and severe storms, to investigate wireless radiation, to understand photovoltaics essential to solar energy, and search for new methods of transportation. In geology, computational science is a
