## What is Atomify?

LAMMPS on your phone/tablet! Learn about atomic physics or show your research to other people.

Gain intuitive visual understanding of how atoms behave in liquids, solids and gases. With Atomify, your phone/tablet is transformed into a physics simulator allowing you to study atoms and molecules building up everything on this planet.

In Atomify you are in charge of the universe. You are God. Perfect for anyone wanting to understand physics at the atomic level.

The simulations are performed with the high performance molecular dynamics code, LAMMPS[1].

Developed by Anders Hafreager and Svenn-Arne Dragly (PhD candidates at the University of Oslo).

Atomify LAMMPS is open source (GPLv3) and the source code can be found on GitHub[2].

### 5/5 — Great!

*2021-04-16, version 2.10*

I’m having a very exciting experience using this app, nice visualisation of lammps simulations. Hope you will add oxidation process in spinel.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2020-08-29, version 2.10*

Anytime I try using the app it doesn’t load

### 5/5 — Great, But needs one more thing.

*2017-11-06, version 2.10*

This app is amazing and fascinating to look at, but it needs a playing around simulation where you can control all of the variables.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2014-12-04, version 1.0*

Excellent educational app! But u'd better add an ability to speed up simulation, cause it takes too long to wait till the temperature drops below zero if one decrease all the axis up to zero so that all the particles are in touch. If it were not so, this app would be perfect to demonstrate phase transitions from solids to liquids and gases. And u'd better add the regime where balls of two colors initially separated mix with time (diffusion) - then your app would be awesome!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.10 — 2017-07-31

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Added a bunch of new simulations: 
 - 5 new 2D simulations showing crack, flow and friction
 - 7 ReaxFF simulations showing various reaction setups
 - Ice crystal, hydrocarbon polymer and a translocation simulation
 - Silicon carbide nano sheet curving and melting

Updated Qt version to 5.9.1 with improved performance.

### 2.01 — 2016-08-11

New simulations of water, silica, and more. LAMMPS is being used as backend. The interface has been redesigned and modernized. New features, simulations and dashboard controls will arrive in the coming months.
We also added new rendering so it looks amazingly much better than before.
Fixed app name, small simulation bugs and camera control bug.
Improved performance.

### 2.0 — 2016-08-07

Replaced the physics engine to LAMMPS (lammps.sandia.gov).
This means we are able to have larger and more interesting systems.
We also added new rendering so it looks amazingly much better than before.

### 1.1 — 2015-02-06

- Added different colors to better illustrate diffusion
 - Added text explaining the different systems

### 1.0 — 2014-11-04

No release notes.
